I'm almost done with DA school, so I am curious, how much do RDA and CDA's make?

It varies with experience, the practice and the dr you work for. Coming right out of school you should expect to make aprox. $12-14 an hour. The max I've heard of a DA making is $24/hour and she had about ten years experience. If you work for a specialist you will make alot more money. I was working for an endodontist, I had five years experience and I was making $18/hour. It just depends on the Dr. I had a friend that worked at the same office with me and she had 1 year of exp, she was making $16/hour. Like I said it depends on the Dr and the office, he obviously didn't pay much attention to the market pay. Look up the Workforce Bureau of Statistics for your state and it will give you an average.
