I majored in Business Administration and Dentistry. I lack in mathmatical analysis ability in my opinion. I took lectures in Introductory Calculus and Statistics. In addition, I worked in the fields which has no relation with financial market after graduation from college. (D.D.S). Can I enter the MS in Financial engineering program? If I can, is there any possibility that I could work in financial market? I am now 30 years old. Instead, is a MBA program suitable for my career?

Could be an urban myth of course...

Dentists have the highest suicidal rate. May be staring at teeth all day long plus chemical vapors mixed to bad breath can drive you nuts.
