i always wonder what is the life of a pharmacist.... RM3.5k as fresh grad gave me an impression that its like drop-dead busy and killing and stressful job

but seeing most people has said, it's err.... like a rewarding job i guess.... i've read that pharmacist can be in hosp/retail/industrial

what is the life of a pharmacist in a hosp/retail/industrial? is it keep doing research, read patient's statistic and see which med is the best, preparing med syrup in a very meticulous method, writing report or so on? does the pharmacist do some talking or sosial like those who are doing business? TBH, i'm kinda a social-type, bubly, talkative and active girl, can be serious but when not necessary, i'm funnily-crazy all the time..... so i'm not very sure if this job suits my life.... hehe

kinda off from here, so i'm very sorry
since i'm a girl with the listed personality above, should i pursue business-type career (most probably major in management, marketing, admin & HR)
but my bro said the pay is very slow and unrewarding.....

wow.... so its being a pharmacist is like memorizing everything? and how does pharmacy differ from chemistry? and as i know pharmacist is more into chemistry, what about biology (other than medicine )

thanks for the reply !!
because my first love was actually biology, but knowing that being doc is hard..... i have to uhm, forgo it..
its ok to judge me haha.... but why business don't suit me? i thought business you interact everyday and make a lot of friend and know new people everyday, isn't it? esp if i'm under human resource... aiks, i'm kinda influenced by the ideology of "do what makes you happy, and you'll be stress-free"

ugly truth, i love almost every chapter in biology in the beginning.... but when is comes to plants, amphibian, insect or fish.... i'm turned off

thx for the advice... hehehe

anyway, that's what i heard from one of my friend la.... doing science course like pharmacy locally isn't so good... its like basically "pointless"... i'm not sure what she's trying to prove.... is it true? i'm aiming for masterskill or mahsa.... browsed through segi website, seems like they offer buts its only master =/

studying pharmacy is expensive.... even for a loan, it might takes a great long time to clear it..... i wished to be in IMU or taylors too, but they're far from my capabilities, that explains my weird choices :sweating:

but i know pharmacist make big bucks and pharmacist is the least i'm interested on.... anyway, pharmacist is so far on my top-list... there's others and there's plenty of research i'm about to do =)

thx

hehe.... aren't many pharmacist a millionaire? 8k~10k consider high for me edi (i'm not greedy, i'm a girl afterall )

opening a shop would be good, better with a partner but again, i'm not a very greedy girl =)

i see my siblings they took business courses and heavily worked even he's just a fresh grad, 2.5k.... maybe because its IBM

aiks.... i'm starting to sound like a drama-queen here :sweating:

perhaps a hundred-thousandaire.... hehe....
thx u for ya help and reply here....
i'm gonna make up my mind real soon

hi there..... i still remember your last post for me =)
upon browsing here : http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/714279
i felt that pharmacist do make big bucks.... wel, since the workload is light, what do you expect? hehe
and this is my biggest question, during pupillage do they just throw you randomly around malaysia or u can choose ur desirable state/city
just to let me finally let go.... hehe
otherwise i'm seeking into HRM or finance =x
gosh, i'm such a bimbo

haha....
scared to do pharmacy because maybe of the pay not good enuff =x (in a far prospect.... if 35~40 still stuck with 10k then its quite a matter =x)
but in the same time i'm scared to do business because of the workload

i heard from my bro in IBM that his dept is having "earthquake".... almost whole team resigned due to workload and only whole team only 2 people (my bro and a female team-leader).... his teamleader at first wanted to resign but once heard from the company,
1)her pay rises from 3k to 5k within a night, but she's working 24hours (sleep in dunno where, floor?)
2)she is not allowed to resign, which she want to resign now very much
3)her workload currently now has doubled, since the dept is having "earthquake"
while my bro still stuck with his 2.5k (fresh grad) and working 12hrs+

haizzz...... is that a life of a businessman? i don't think i can handle it la....
wish i'm pretty and talented.... can be artist =p

haha.... since this topic is quite lonely and i have some passion for pharmacy.. hehehe
yea, i do need a lot of career guidance.....
pic? eeyer, dun need la... haha

next time if i reli became a pharmacist i sure rmb u..... hehehe
see more aspect first la.... even studying pharmacy might be a challenge.... in my POV of science courses, the hardest to study is doctor>dentist>pharmacy
browsed thru alot of college and take a look of the subjects, had no idea whether its hard or easy.... is the study-skills like SPM or hell-style one

okie... i'll come back if i have prob =) hehehe
btw, what you're doing in monash now? i saw you everywhere in EE

very.... since you're everywhere in EE

working in education industry as a student? hehe
you're 20 rite? (i checked ur profile =P)
