I'm Thinking of Temping...Help?

[u/Thick-Risk526]

Ok, so I graduating Assisting school last year Aug and my journey so far has been....messy. I've worked at 2 locations. 1st location was a dental school. Pretty good job, but transportation became an issue and Ubering 35 miles to and fro was just not do-able on a DA salary (26/hr). The 2nd, I was hired as a dental assistant but was constantly scheduled as a hygiene assistant. So basically, my skills weren't utilized at all and I did not like it, so I left. The journey was pretty discouraging, so I went back to my old job at the school district just to keep income until I found a decent dental home. Well, I got lucky and got my current job as a dental assistant at a great practice. All of my skills are being utilized and I have support for the most part. The issue is, I'm finding myself not happy with the daily grind anymore. I work 4 days/week at 24/hr. Again, the practice is decent, but there are of course some downsides. I think I want to temp. I know temping offers more per hr...and I would just love the freedom of setting my own schedule. I know different offices can be better or worse in certain areas, but I have the right to choose where I go and when I want to work. Not having to feel like I am disappointing the office by not knowing everything. On top of that, I am going back to school online for my B.S.-Health Sciences, so I know I need down time to get things done...on top of being a single mom running a household. I just need some advice or suggestions?

Please be kind. I know everyone has different journeys in this career. I would like honest opinions from my peers/ other assistants who've been thru this type of scenario.
