Even in the mid 90s I had extreme difficulty finding a job. The dental hospital chains like MyDentist that are ubiquitous in big Indian cities now didn't exist. I recall sitting with a list of hospitals, pathetically calling each of them in turn to ask if there was any job for a dentist going. Not one said there was. After a few very low paying jobs I returned to my hometown and started my own clinic. I suppose it was a good time to do that because I certainly couldn't have done it now. There's too much competition.

It sounds like you started in the very last days of the older era. More money in an industry brings new problems. <br /><br />It reminds me of the legal profession here. Someday, maybe on a different account of mine, I'll go into some of that.<br /><br />This was fascinating. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06856160423100846727noreply@blogger.com
