He started work in 1992. Retail then is not like how it is now. I dont buy this.
My honest impression is this is too far of a reach and I feel like it's almost made up? Retail in 1992 is not retail in 2026.

There's something else going on. Most of the generation I am in are fairly fit and look youngish from not being in the sun (more so than what my fat self would be if I didn't do granddad-speed triathalons). I certainly don't like standing as long as most retail pharmacists do. He' is also a late entrant. A lot of it is not eating crap food while at work, something that I definitely noticed as a difference between healthy and unhealthy pharmacists. It's too easy to fall into the trap, which was why when I practiced retail, I made meal prep style meals during that time.
The high-volume workers are running around and look ok. Maybe it's survivor bias?
I still do that despite my income during very busy periods in the university because I don't want to go out to eat or take too much time when there's a deadline on the table to get through. I always do that when I'm practicing within VA as the food quality within VA is substandard even for Sysco/US Foods. I think fondly of those meal prep companies now and would have been an addicted to that service had that been available at the time.

I remember my preceptor was a big shot until I was her student during rotation and then I found out she wasn’t even being paid to run her little clinic. Just a mere volunteer she was.
she must have been a professor.
amb care is tricky. there a few competitive private and some federal real positions.
difficult to say what you do as opposed to the responsibility of the NP.
there is a lot of turf wars which you always lose.
I’m kind of interested in the self description of being fit…230lbs is still a lot even if 6’4’’ (classic bro trope of overestimating muscle mass)…swim and lift every other day. Activity/exercise can become complicated with aging and health complications. Doing the same routine & not adapting overtime isn’t a great strategy in staying fit
Personally I’ve been into fitness for over 25 years and have gone through several major changes in terms of how I prioritize activity…decade long phases of focusing on 1) learning exercise variety 2) injury prevention & time efficiency & 3) mobility/flexibility, functional fitness with more real world carry over
Doing the same thing over and over again & expecting the same outcome is insane
