Personal statement help

[dinu]

I am kind of confused about what to write for the PS question about immediate and long term professional goals. Can i talk about starting a family? Will that be considered a professional goal? Can someone pls give me some suggestions on answering this question.

Starting a family isn't a professional goal, it's a personal goal. Having a flexible schedule or being in a stable career are closer professional goals, but still aren't goals, per se.

In the professional section (I would) talk about where you want to be in 10, 15 and 20 years and why that relates well to the field of pharmacy. For example, I've been working in IT for 10 years, I used that to segue into I like helping people and I wanted to find a role where I could make more impact in a person's live then just telling them which buttons to push to make their computers work.
