Northern Arizona pay?

I’ve been a dental assistant in central Texas for about 4 years and make $21 an hour but I’ll be moving to flagstaff for NAU’s hygiene program.

Flagstaff is stupidest expensive and I’m gonna need to work while going to school. And I’ve done the math to see that to match my current pay I’ll need $27 up there

But I don’t wanna ask for too much and just be shut down, how much are you guys making around the area or just in Arizona in general?
