Not good enough for me. I want a job that pays $250k a year where patients and other health professionals worship me for giving pharmaceutical advice while I work for 2 hours a day by the beach.
Sure, I've got a job for you. And I can add an additional perk if you want to sexually harass all the pretty women in your program, be this guy:
UMN professor accused of sexual harassment had been reprimanded before – Twin Cities
He farms his labor to his graduate students, serves on committees to get away from his wife, and "everyone has a story about him" where he's well-known in the profession as one of the great Bayesian statisticians and serial harasser.
What's it to you to be the villain for the entirety of your career? Why be the good guy? Because, the villain gets all the fun, does all the creative work, and gets his way for the entirety of the book, except for the ending. And if you don't care about the ending (and that even is open to question), why not get what you want?
If you're wondering what I look for in a potential pharmacy student, I look for those sorts of attitudes and try to keep them away from this profession. On the same note, on the executive search committees that I have been on, I will positively look for this kind of person, because not only is this person productive, you have blackmail leverage that if that person ever becomes inconvenient, magically "resigning to spend more time with the (broken) family" comes up quite a bit.
Most of you are intelligent enough to be that kind of person, to get what you really want. Why are you not doing what it takes to get that? No job openly is going to advertise for something like "abuse your subordinates", or "play golf 3 days a week", or "wasting company resources is cool", but you can look for the code words "take charge of people", "develop relationships", "drive change in the organization through reorganization." The playbook is there, it is a matter of you actually reading it and doing it.
(Nonsarcastically, even for those newer graduates who don't give a damn about the practice, I do hope that the admission process does favor those who have more altruistic outlooks on life and work, otherwise, nothing does work. Because to do the right ethical thing and work sincerely, the only reward that you can get out of it is the work itself. If the work is not enough, then you need to think about joining the other team.)
Someone with real ambition on this board managed to do it, but are you willing to pay the consequences at the end, because the ending is pretty much what it is.
