Glad you found the blog! I think specialist or not, not all of us are cut out for this. I felt the same way– 20 more years? No way! I didn’t have it in me. I bet you’ll find something– keep up the search, and it’ll work out!!

I love it. I search daily for alternative careers. I’m even diving more into dentistry- kicking and screaming- to add to my resume and hopefully open new doors. Being a dental specialist is a mixed blessing. As I get to explore my true life passions, I dread the realization that I may potentially walk into my office every day for the next 15-20 years. I truly look forward to reading all your posts- past and future. Your “why you’re dentist hates you too” will be very dangerous to me and inspiring.

Hi Pauline,
I’m so glad you found it! There are a lot of us out there. We just need to connect like this to be reassured that it’s okay if we don’t really like it all that much. Congrats on your resignation! I’m glad you are enjoying doing this part-time. I did the same thing a while ago, and it was definitely the right way to transition for me. I hope you have a wonderful time on your vacation. What are you thinking of doing next?

I’ve been working as a dentist for the public health service for almost ten years, and I just resigned from it a month ago. My husband and I are on vacation this week, and I spent a lot of my time researching different career choices. I never got to run my own pratice so I can’t relate to you in that sense, but I can understand the other stresss of being a dentist. I am still currently working part time as a dentist at a different practice, but ever since I quit working full time, I am realizing that maybe dentistry isn’t for me anymore. It is good to hear that things are going well for you.

Thanks! It has not been easy, but it has been worth it. That was the same thing that motivates me. I always think, when I wake up one morning at the age of 65, will I look back with regret? That drives me. BTW– I use 65 b/c at that age, there’s still more time. I never want to wait until 85 to look back. Wishing you the best as well!

Thanks, fraggle! It has definitely been a welcome surprise. I haven’t revealed it yet. I will tell you though in an email if you want to know. 😉 I will probably reveal it eventually. I wanted the blog to feel a little more authentic about the experience, and not feel like it was an attempt to push product. Hmm… Durex. Now that is a thought. Could explain why this is so much fun?? 😉

wishing you all the best!

Glad it’s all going well. Not sure if you’ve said what you are selling yet, but couldn’t find out from previous posts, can’t figure why it’s a secret as you’re so happy you can’t be ashamed of it surely!? Mind you, the advert at the bottom of the page as I read your blog is for Durex, so am wondering…..:)
