Why did I choose Pharmacy?

Hello bloggers!

Today I'm going to talk about my current studies. I decided to study pharmacy back in 3th grade, and I remember being so sure about it. I like chemistry, so I looked for careers related to, and althought I really like biotechnology and genetics, I found out that pharmacy was the best choise at the moment, because it has the widest field of work.

Main factors that influenced me to study pharmacy were salary and work schedule. In contrast to some of my classmates, I never thought studying medicine, because I don't like the life that doctors and nursers have. I want time for me and my future family, and what I like about pharmaceutics is that they can help people without sacrificing personal time.

What it really disgusts me about my career is that I think it is underpaid -even though the salary is high- because you must learn so many difficult things and sacrifice a lot of your time when you're studying, that maybe the final cost-benefit is not balanced. For that reason, I have questioned many times if I should keep going or not.

Now I'm just one step away from graduating and finally get my degree, so I'm feeling anxious about it. Once I'm ready I would like to find a job and save some money, so I could pay for an apartment and then buy a car.
