JOBS FOR DOCTORS
When I write of jobs for doctors, who do I mean? Being a doctor simply means that you have a doctorate degree in some field. So, doctors never actually stop being doctors, but what do they do when they no longer practice? I mean, what other jobs for doctors are there? By doctors, I’m referring here to my friends in all of the health-care specialties: doctors of medicine, dentistry, osteopathy, chiropractic medicine, naturopathy, podiatry, pharmacy, and more. Training for the medical specialties focuses on biology, chemistry, anatomy, physiology, etc. These are known as the medical sciences. When somebody retires or discontinues practice for any reason, what other jobs for doctors are available with this sort of training? And what jobs are “ex-doctors” qualified to do?
A few alternatives exist. One of the more common jobs for doctors is to work for a pharmaceutical company. Some are hired by health-care insurance companies. Others teach. A few make careers out of being expert witnesses in professional liability lawsuits.
Being at or near retirement age makes it especially difficult to even find medical jobs for doctors. Besides those who are approaching retirement age, others are being forced out of retirement because of money lost in real estate or stock market investments. Relocating to a different state becomes nearly impossible. Before most states will award or renew a license to practice, they require that a doctor must have engaged in active practice for at least two of the past 3 or 4 years. Thus, doctors who retired more than three years earlier find it especially tough to renew a license. I know of ex-doctors who currently work as warehouse night watchmen, hotel desk clerks, hospital orderlies, and even cart handlers at Wal-Mart. Doesn’t this seem like a huge waste of brains and professional talent? Not to mention their dignity and self respect?
Due to the recession, many non-medical jobs for doctors have simply vanished, just as thousands of other jobs have been lost through business failures and corporate downsizing. So what do they do? Most doctors dislike selling because they’re not very good at it. Few have had management training or experience. Almost none have skills in the trades. How can they support themselves and their families?
There is a solution to this problem, and most doctors are ideally suited to excel at it. With more than 1.6 billion people connected to the Internet today, Internet marketing has become one of the most lucrative and exciting businesses the world has ever known. The following are traits needed to succeed in this new profession.
- Self motivated, with an independent spirit
- Self discipline
- Intelligence and ability to study and learn new skills (computer, internet)
- Patience and willingness to invest time and effort in order to master a new profession (This typically requires a few weeks, rather than years)
- Willingness to invest, as needed, a percentage of income in order to grow the business
- “Coach-ability”—i.e. willingness to follow instructions and learn from an expert mentor
- Ability to monitor and adjust to changing market conditions
- The “mindset” and self confidence necessary to achieve success in any profession.
Are these qualities not possessed by most of the doctors you know? Please note that the word, “selling” does not appear in the list above. I have personally never liked “selling” because I’m not good at it. So I don’t do it. In fact, our Internet marketing company’s motto is, “You don’t need to sell when you know how to market!” There’s a huge difference. Amateurs sell. Professionals market.
My personal story is on the home page of this blog. I’m a physician and surgeon who retired early and then found himself in the exact financial predicament described above. There were no jobs for doctors in my situation. Thanks to Internet marketing, combined with the same skills that enabled me to become a physician, my family and I are again living the life of our dreams. I have regained my dignity. I won’t dwell on the freedoms I now enjoy such as freedom from stifling government OSHA regulations, soaring malpractice-insurance premiums, employee staffing issues, huge expenses, boring committee meetings, never having time for my family, AAAHC inspections, 3:00 a.m. phone calls for prescription refills, insurance-company refusals to pay, etc. You already know about these.
Quite frankly, Internet marketing is less stressful, more enjoyable, and yes—more lucrative than practicing a health-care profession today. Many of our team members earn more each month than most doctors still in practice. On our team we have pharmacists, chiropractors, dentists, nurses, and more. We work well together and we all enjoy our new profession. And we get to work at home with all its attendant benefits.
I was a very good physician and surgeon, totally dedicated to helping my patients. Today, my wife and I equally enjoy our new profession of Internet Marketing. With more than 1.6 billion people already connected to the Internet, it’s the largest marketplace in the world, and growing daily. It’s exciting to be a part of something this new and fascinating. And did I mention the money? There’s NO recession at my home because there is NO recession on the Internet.

Dear Dr. Smithdeal – great posts. Me too I have joined the internet marketing world and I totally love it. I have worked for a number of years as a teacher, a skin treatment therapist and a personal trainer. However, I realized that through the internet we can reach more people and ‘help’ more individuals, plus the ‘working conditions’ are much much better than the corporate world. And it’s up to professionals like us to ‘kill the rumours’ that internet marketing is a suspicious job to be involved in. Keep up the good work.
Great insights! Keep up a good post. Cheers!
