Hello. I am sophomore in NYIT (BS/DO program)..so at one point in my life, I was so sure I wanted to be a doctor (I LOVE medicine), but now I am beginning to have doubts as to my ability to be able to deal with all the stress that doctors go through...not to mention the numerous loans that need to be paid off...and also, how I will not have any life. Not to mention, I don't know if the medical profession will be such a stable field in the future (you can check the article I posted). Even doctors I have shadowed have told me to switch to a different field.
I had a talk with my aunt today who told to consider pharmacy (she is a pharmacist herself) and while their seem to many benefits of doing pharmacy, I just can't imagine changing fields just because one is quicker and less stressful...I'm so confused...I know many of you will say, why not just shadow a pharmacist and find out??...Well actually, I was thinking of transferring out of NYIT (you can read my previous posts for that), so there is not much time to shadow...because I will also need to fill out applications.
I have never done anything related to pharmacy...I did check out the different types of pharmacists, and I know I don't want to be a retail pharmacist. I was thinking between an industrial and clinical pharmacist.
Can someone please provide me some words of advice? I would really appreciate any help. Thank you.
