I graduated from pharmacy school 17 yrs. ago. Worked retail for 6 yrs. then left for another career outside of pharmacy, recently returned to pharmacy for the money.
All of my friends hate it. They don't feel like they're helping people and don't feel appreciated because all they get is aggravation.
Here's what I hate:
* insurance BS
* rude customers
* always on the go, no breaks
* no pension
* constant pressure to get it done NOW! (is it done yet?)
* chest pains from pressure
* forgot a lot of stuff learned in Rx school, don't use it
Here's what I like:
* Money
* Money
* Money
* less hours and still make decent money to live on
* starting to get some respect (OH, you're a pharmacissssssst?)
