I have a pretty unicorn pharmacist job, but all this Covid downtime has me thinking about my future.
I like my job, but it isn’t very portable and I am enjoying the golden handcuffs at work. Leaving to go anywhere else would likely involve a large paycut. My concern is, what happens ten years down the line. Basically, my job doesn’t feel secure, and I’m not willing to go to the chains if this job dries up somehow.
I have thought about returning to school, but I’m not sure I have the stomach for it right now. Sounds painful. Any suggestions for diversifying? I do not have a residency. I don’t really care if my future job is in pharmacy or not, but it would be nice to build on my pharmacy skill set and knowledge.
I feel sort of like I’m stuck and it’s not a great feeling.
