Wow an MBA for a dentist..lol..I also thought you were alot older like 40-something..:smash::lol:

I have a dentists appointment in 2 weeks..:evil:

Still hanging onto my 30's for a few more years atleast! As for the MBA thing, I look at it as why not. It would give me something to do, and I actually do enjoy the entire learning/education process, plus my wife has 1 more degree than I do (she's got a BS an MS and a DMD to my BS and DMD)

Wow, two DMD's in the same family. Your kids probably look like they have mouthfuls of perfect little chicklets.

Anyway, the MBA is a great idea for anyone who works for or owns a business (nearly anyone). Check out Business Weeks ratings on the best part time MBA programs in the country. WPI's is actually rated pretty high. As much as I'd not like to have 3 degrees from the same institution, that's probably where I'll end up for mine.

Doc -Marc is on target the MBA is a valuable asset in your portfolio of credentials

WE just hired a Chief Medical Officer at our regional medical center ( Not much older than you) because in addition to his clinical credentrials and experience he earned an MBA and managed a major group practice as well as his OWN in the greater NY metro region .

He'll probably be our NEXT CEO _

Point is : Get many tools in your satchel --never know when a career change may be desirable

Not planning on any career change, but I just like to know as much as I can about as many aspects of my entire practice as possibile (both clinical and business). And with many dollars rolling through my practice each year, while I feel comfortable with the business advisors I have in place, a significant part of me wants to know/learn more to see if what I'm doing is the most effective way to run things. Plus, as I look at it, it's never a good thing to stop learning!

what was your degree? Math/Economics

is your degree relative to your profession today? Probabalistic models would suggest that.

An engineer, a physicist, a mathematician, and a statistician are taken,
one at a time, into a room to undergo a psychological test. In the room is
a table (upon which is a pad and pencil), a chair, a bucket of water, and a
waste basket rigged so that it can be set ablaze from an adjacent room in
which the psychologists watch.

The engineer is first, and the basket is set ablaze. The engineer
immediately jumps up, grabs the bucket of water and dashes the entire thing
onto the fire, flooding the entire room and extinguishing the fire.

The physicist is next. The basket ignites, the physicist quickly calculates
exactly how much water is required to extinguish the flames and pours
exactly that amount, neatly extinguishing the flames.

The mathematician next. The basket blazes up, the mathematician calculates
exactly how much water is required to put out the fire, and then walks out
of the room.

The statistician is last. The basket is ignited. He grabs the bucket, pours
half on one side, half on the other, and announces, "It's out."
