Hi,
I am currently doing my Phd in Physiology in a US University and I am hoping to graduate in the summer of 2013. After my PhD, I would like to enter preferably a biotech/pharmaceutical industry. To increase my career growth I want to do a MBA with a major in international business. There are a couple of concerns
a. by the time I am done with my PhD I will be 33 years old. Most of the B-schools in U.S. have an average of 27/28 years, some being even younger,
b. the only experience I have had is working for 2 years in a small lab back home in India.
Naturally, my concerns are that am I too old for a B-school and is my background a big deterrent. I have been seriously thinking of taking classes for accounting, statistics and economics at a local community college, to get a bit of background as well as show my ability to cope with subjects vastly different from current field. Any thoughts will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

To be honest, I think you may be better off to get some full-time work experience sooner than later. Doing two more years of school full-time won't make you any more employable (you said it yourself -- you're a guy in his 30s who has very little full-time experience, and in the real world that is what companies value more than credentials).
If you want to do an MBA, you're likely best off doing a part-time program while working.
Also, from a b-school admissions standpoint the big concern is whether you're employable with all this school under your belt. Remember that schools are just as conscious about their own placement numbers as the students themselves.

. Bachelors, Masters and now doctorate. I really do not want tread the age old path and end up doing a post-doctorate.
