I got my undergrad in 1993. I never had any interest in math and science, but could do well in the required classes like bio & pre-calc when I did the homework and studied. I have always been a verbal/language person. But, times and people change 😛 😛 , and now for many reasons, I really want to pursue pharmacy.
It's been a long time since I've been in school, and I'm not sure I will have what it takes when it comes to upper level science coursework. I'd say I am above average in intelligence, but no genius, and like I said, my strengths have always been more in the humanities-type studies.
Also, I have 3 kids, which means less time to study. I am afraid that when I get to the more advanced courses, I might run into a mental roadblock where I just don't have the natural aptitude to "get it" and am not going to be able to "get it", no matter how hard I try.
So, what do you think? Is "if there's a will, there's a way", hard work and pretty good "general smarts" enough?
Thanks for your perspective!....
