 Re: career change
I hear what you say about pharmacy, and quite frankly I agree. I think Pharmacists are grossly over-qualified for the work they do, and from the outside it seems as though they are just middle-men between Doctor & patient, and one thing I have learnt from business is to cut costs you have to cut out the middle man, given the current NHS cash crisis....
But my motivations for pharmacy are perhaps a little different,
I have a genuine interest in the way drug act on the body and the way the body works.
If I do do Mpharm I would do it in order to get a job in research, or teach at uni, carry on with a phd... sort of thing. If I put my mind to it work hard and get a first then maybe even use it as a spring board into a more pleasant profession.
Worse case scenario I work as a locum (if the job still exists in 5 years that is!!) with reasonable pay hopefully, or maybe a Locum a couple days a week and pursue something else phd or other job the other days of the week.
Is this unrealistic, am I totally off the plot or does this make some sense??
