Hi Santosh.

Age is not really a factor in today's times when skilled manpower is difficult to get.

Take the job that you have better skills for and the one that you enjoy more.

Ans: Hello! As a dental surgeon with 15 years of experience, you have a wealth of knowledge and skills that can be applied to the administration of a hospital. According to Payscale India, the average salary for a Hospital Administrator in India is ?499,495 per year. However, the salary range can vary depending on factors such as experience, education, and location.

It’s understandable that you’re facing challenges in finding a suitable job that meets your salary expectations and qualifications. Here are some suggestions that might help:

Expand your search: Consider looking for job opportunities in other cities or states where the demand for hospital administrators is higher. This could increase your chances of finding a job that meets your requirements.

Network: Reach out to your professional network and let them know that you’re looking for a job. They might be able to refer you to a hospital that is looking for someone with your skills and experience.

Gain experience: Consider taking up an internship or volunteering at a hospital to gain experience in hospital administration. This could help you build your skills and make you more attractive to potential employers.

Negotiate: If you’re offered a job that doesn’t meet your salary expectations, consider negotiating with the employer. You could also ask for additional benefits such as health insurance, paid time off, or a flexible work schedule.

I hope these suggestions help you in your job search. Good luck! ????

Ans: Well so you are a dentist ..it's a profession where you get a decent sum per procedure.

Hope you are working as a dentist if you are still finding the payoff not commensurate with the efforts and revenue generated, sure must look for a change.

I really don't know your city, but today besides dental hospitals,regular hospital's need dentists too.. Especially during accidental cases.
Further a lot of dental clinic chains have started too, paying decent salaries.
Do your online search apply
.
You could alternatively go to education institutions hold dental health camps... so many patients even a small sum of ?100 x 32 patient's possible at 15 minutes per patient over 8 hours take home ?3200 per day
