Do dental offices hire dental assistants if you are working on getting into the hygienists program?

Personally, I would tend not to hire someone who announced up front that they had very short-term plans in my office. Even if you have a trained, certified assistant, it still takes a good year or more to bring them up to speed with your way of doing things, your way of thinking, your sense of how the day should flow, aligning with your priorities, etc. If I was a huge office with a lot of turnover, maybe it would not be a problem to have someone as a "grunt" assistant for a few months, but I only have two clinical assistants and I plan on keeping them forever. It's just too disruptive any other way.
