[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seeking help!

I’m a midcareer, non-clinical MBA working in healthcare administration. I loathe the healthcare model in our country and, more selfishly, recognize that it is and will always be capital-intensive and highly regulated.  You are at the mercy of physicians, pharmaceutical companies, and (worst of all) insurance companies.

That said, I know that I *can* make money at a higher level in this industry, but am wondering if it’s smart to leverage this experience into something else: I’m still pretty young and considering pharmaceutical sales. Or something else?

Advice??[/quote]

You got an MBA, it’s not like you were planning to save the dolphins.

Obv get into tech if you can, but healthcare is pretty recession resistant and less ageist than other industries.

You say you are pretty young. Post MBA that must mean mid 30s?  Is that young in Pharma sales?

Anyways, it’s not if you are pretty young, you need to be PRETTY AND YOUNG.

I am pretty, late thirties (very [b]regularly thought to be early thirties[/b] if it matters - I have good skin). And high energy, bubbly, positive - youthful energy. [/quote]

Who goes around guessing or asking people’s ages?

Whatever, you are basically 40 by the time this ball get rolling.

What does “youthful energy” even mean?

Can you at least sell yourself convincingly?

I think PP suggesting health tech is on the right path. [/quote]
