Should I become a Pharmacist?

We Answered:

Besides retail, there is also clinical pharmacy wherein you usually work in the hospital and have much more patient contact and physician contact than working retail. I think clinical pharmacy is very exciting (if you like medicine).

I know for the pharmacy school I looked into they very much emphasize chemistry, particularly organic chemistry and biochemistry. If those are subjects you enjoy I think you would enjoy the field of pharmacy.

You can shadow a pharmacist to get a better idea of their job. I recommend shadowing both a clinical pharmacist (or better yet trying to volunteer at a clinical pharmacy at a hospital) and a retail pharmacist. Also, working as a pharmacy technician is excellent experience as well. Volunteer experience plus work experience would be invaluable for your application to pharmacy school.

Good luck!

For the medical field and to get a specific jon as a pharmacist which military branch would be best??

We Answered:

You must be talking about a pharmacy tech, not a pharmacist. I'd consider the Air Force for this career field.

I would not fall for a navy "apprenticeship" program.

FRUSTRATED! I have a B.A. in biology yet I want to work in the business world. How can I get hired??

We Answered:

HR can be difficult to get into without any business classes. Consider being an HR assistant or an admin assistant for a while to build up business skills. (And be sure to FULLY explain why you want to go for these positions in your cover letters and interviews, otherwise they will toss your resume aside, figuring that you are going to leave them in a few months when you get a "real" job in your field.)

Also look into taking classes to get an HR certificate (or another more general certificate in business), or getting your MBA. I know the last thing you want to do is go back to school! These are certificates offered by UCI, as an example of what you should look for. I did the HR certificate program several years ago and I find this certificate very valuable. http://unex.uci.edu/certificates/busines…

Also consider a consulting career; environmental consultants utilize biologists to conduct environmental surveys. However, since you have a BA in bio instead of a BS, you may run into difficulties with finding a postition at the entry level. Consultants typically want someone with a "hard science" background. Here is an example of one company http://www.chambersgroupinc.com/
