Tbh, a lot of the Professions eg Teaching, Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing etc are overrated and a lot of them just end up as one giant slog whereby the person ends up jaded & resentful towards the job the longer they’re working in it. They all come with lots of stress, which most likely shortens your lifespan & they’re most certainly not what they’re made out to be by the schools and Universities, which no doubt glamorise them to a large extent. The way the Universities present it, the people in these professions are hopping and skipping to & from work, whereas in reality, you’re so wrecked you just want to collapse on the sofa night after night & dread going in the next day. It’s basically a sympathetic state you’re in the whole time with very little time for R & R.
Pharmacy is absolutely no different in this regard. I’ve honestly never met a person long term in Pharmacy, especially community Pharmacy, who said they enjoyed their job. If they say they do enjoy it, they’re more or less saying they enjoy stress, which tbh is a form of self flagellation/Lunacy in itself. 😂
I never enjoyed it because I don’t deal with stress very well.
