I decided to shadow a pharmacist friend who is working for a retail pharmacy before persuing a pharmd degree. Only took me 4 hours to realize being a pharmacist is not that great. Everybody seems so busy all time, nobody get to sit down to relax for a few minutes. My friend was standing and starring at his computer all day. He took only one break. Phone was ringing constantly. How can a person standing 8 hours a day like that? The money is good, he told me he makes 120k but has 140k in student loan. I only make 50k and zero debt plus I can come anytime I want and leave anytime I want. At my job, I can take 2 hours lunch and nobody cares. Plus I can work from home 2-3 days a month. I admit that most of us in the office don't put in 40 hrs a week. The downside of my office job is it is not stable. Anybody can get layoff at anytime.
In conclusion, I am just going to put this dream on hold for now.
