Pharmacists would have more interaction with patients if patients wanted to interact
Unfortunately, the image of a pharmacist just involves a person fulfilling a doctor's prescription. These patients, as a result, don't feel a need to consult with a pharmacist.
If I had to answer the question, I would also try to distinguish pharmacy from medicine. I would say that the smaller workload as a pharmacist enables me to have more community involvement and makes it easier for me to maintain a family. I would talk about the fun features about pharmacy such as the intrigue I have about antibiotics, how drugs work and interact, and the importance of the pharmacy profession in a patient's life. I don't know if this applies to you, but I am also interested in designing a pharmacy where I can provide a consultant role. That would give me some interaction with patients too. If only these patients wanted to talk to me.
