[QUOTE="Spooby, post: 4094836, member: 548396"] Never finished it. I was entering my 2nd year of pharmacy school when I left. I already had a job as a registered pharmacy technician for several years, and was still there while I was going through undergrad, and pharm school. The job sucks and I hated every minute of it. The money was ok (as a pharm student you make almost $25/hour), and the potential to make more was inviting (estimated $50/hour). The people I worked with had a super sour attitude about being pharmacists though, and that did contribute to my decision to leave the field. It didn't help the fact that I didn't like it much to begin with. There is only so much you can do in a retail pharmacy, and in the end it comes down to how many scripts you fill in one day. Thats the biggest reasons why there are so many screw ups when it comes to filled prescriptions these days. But again this is just my opinion because I have been in the field. There are plenty of others who like the job, and even more who would kill for the shot I had in becoming a pharmacist. I could care less about the industry, and I'm glad I left when I did. NOTE: If you are good in sales you make ALOT more as a drug rep, and you don't need a specialized degree. Do an internet query for Cardinal Health if you need a place to start your research.
