My friend diagnodent, don't listen to me. Go on your happy path and work until your 70's; I wish you a long and happy working life always. Or are you a dental salesman trying to ripoff these young dentists with your overpriced really complicated $5000 software and $2000 training fee and $500yearly support fee? While you're at it, put them in deeper debt with your $100,000 laser and $100,000 cerec machine they really have little need for!
My first dental software (TDOCS) bought in 2000 for $795 is still in use today without any update yet. I was naive and paid too much back then, because last year I found another one (PerfectByte) for $69. They sent me the actual software with 25 patients limits and I was sold. Meanwhile, TDOCS gets digested by Patterson. Patterson then contacted me and offered 'free' software and data transfer, with only a mandatory fee of $3695 for 2days in office training and 3 years tech support. I said, "Thank you but my $69 program works flawlessly with no training, why do I need a to pay 25X more for your program so complicated I'd need a 2 days office shutdown for training and tech support for another 3 years?!"
FYI, punch in my hometown zip code '95111' and it shows 1:8000 ratio! Go drive around and see for yourself there's a dental office on every block for miles. Better yet, with such a good ratio, go open an office there. It's so competitive some offices even provide complimentary pickup/dropoff service. I grew up there, loved it there, but didn't return there after I graduated.
