With all of the talk about the upcoming cuts, who among us is considering jumping the fence and running the high-end of the business instead of working in the trenches?

I was thinking of a JD anyone can get an MBA on the weekends or evenings in just over a year and what will that get you? A 120K per year job as an hospital administrator.

With a JD you can waste their time and more importantly money with frivolous lawsuits until they give into your way of thinking.

Good point. I think that with either degree, though, you can go into consulting, which, from what I hear, is where the bigger bucks are to be found (as compared to working as an anesthesiologist).

you can work in consulting with an MD. no need for even more tuition debt 😉

if you make the effort to go through anesthesia training, then focus on being an anesthesiologist. the only advantage to having an mba is to understand a little better the business side of things, not necessarily to be involved in running the business. because, as a clinician, every minute you spend outside the OR you're losing money. mba's and accoutants count beans. you're providing the beans for them to count. get a good mba/accountant in your practice, which is money well spent, and focus on what you do best: taking care of patients.
