Clinical, Retail, or Both?

Can't imagine doing anything other than retail, I like the people interaction. Tried out the hospital side for a while and it just wasn't my cup of tea.

I plan on getting a MBA while earning my Pharm.D. Ultimate goal is to own several pharmacies across one or more states in the years afterwards. Working on obtaining funds to buy my first three sometime in the next five to seven years.

The clin. pharmacists I work with have daily pt intxn. Way, way more pt intxn than my supervising pharmacist at the pharmacy I work at. Hardly anyone ever asks for consults. They check the decline consultation box and say "I'll read it for myself."

I can't imagine retail offering more pt intxn than clinical specialty work.

What I'd really like is to find a 7-on/7-off position, even though it almost certainly means working nights. My first love is writing and it's much harder to do that when you're working 9-5.

I just don't understand how some pharmacists actually do this. The 7 days off in a row sounds good but not working 7 days in a row at 10-12 hrs a day.
