    How about this..

    A trainee doctor is talking to his mentor in the car park of the Hospital.

    "So, I've been here 3 weeks and I'm not sure what to specialise in."

    The mentor thinks a moment and points to a car and says "See that car?"

    "Yes" replies the trainee.

    "That belongs to a nose specialist. He gets paid £1000 for every operation."

    He points to another,bigger car,"And that one? An ear specialist. 2 ears, £2000"

    "Ah I see says the trainee!"

    Just then a huge car pulls up and through the steamy windows he can see a small man getting out of a shower and being towelled down by 3 gorgeous women, he gets dressed in the finest suit and a platform slides out from under the car, he steps on and it takes him through the doors of the hospital.

    The trainee doctor is amazed but his mentor just turns around to him and says "Thats Jim, he's a dentist"

    That kind of keeps the essence of the joke.

    Change "ere" to "before" and yer done, it's timeless, not funny, but timeless. If you want to alienate and lose half of the people you tell it to, you could look up obscure doctoral titles for the positions mentioned, but I'd refrain.
