Dental Vs. Business!

I’m currently torn between choosing two majors: Business and Dental Hygiene. Can you guys help provide some pros and cons for me and break down the benefits for both?

I know that business would probably be an easier option b/c it doesn’t require as much schooling. Also, to get into Business School, I don’t even need to major in business as an undergrad! Whereas for dental hygiene, I need pre-dental work and most of the students at Dental Schools have been in college for pre-dental work for 4 years prior to it. (Correct me if my information is wrong, please)

So why am I torn? I’m torn because at this point, it seems choosing business would be the easier way out. But general dentists make a good 10,000+ more a month than do business majors. (I’m not sure how accurate these numbers are, but I’m sure many of you will agree dentists, in general make more money than say, accountants.)

PLUSS! Business is so general, there are so many other sub-groups, like finance, accounting, marketing, management, etc! This is blowing my head off!

Another thing, I enjoy both science, math and economics. So any dental students or business students out there want to give a helping hand? It would be appreciated!

Btw, do what tests do I have to take for both business and dental prior entering graduate schools?
