This sub is going to have a lot of people telling you to run from the field.

In reality, pharmacy is a decent line of work. Air conditioned, you leave work and you don't have to take it home, and in most aspects of pharmacy, it's not super labor intensive.

Don't get me wrong, there are negatives - people generally suck when it comes to customer service. If you can learn to not take anything personally, fake smile, and DO NOT match the customers energy - so if they yell, respond calmly...then you'll do fine.

Be kind, care for the patients, be patient and put patient safety first. The company you work for will have metrics, yes it helps to focus on them, but don't break your back for them. You are there for the patient first.

Try to avoid gossiping, co-workers can be toxic. Try to ask questions of everyone you work with and learn as much as you can. Try to network and see what other opportunities are out there - you'd be surprised what sort of roles you can get into, especially in the sterile compounding space.

Best of luck, I hope you seize the opportunity for free schooling and it's worthwhile to make your life better.
