Trailing Thoughts

Madhujit has pointed out to me that my titles are less than creative, but oh well, I think they fit. Today was the Pharmacy Expo at the University of Toledo. There were a lot of prospective employers for all over the us around. Let me tell you, now I am so confused. I really don’t know what I want to do. There is the possibility of retail and I have already recieved a great offer from Rite Aid for either here or in Cleveland– about 90,- is nothing to sneeze at right when you get out of school. Plus there is a sign on bonus. But there are some great residency programs to focus more on the clinical aspects of pharmacy. There are some I would like to specialize in, like oncology or infectious disease management. But then there are offers of pharmacy with a great opportunities for growth into management so I can use my MBA. A few hospitals offer a residency program which is a masters program in hospital administration. Then there are the fellowship programs, like the one that Eli Lilly offers, which are great sounding. I really am confused now. It is all the options and not having a career path specifically chosen.
Well, there is one thing that I must say, pharmacy can be a rewarding career, even if for some people it is just monetary. I really urge people to look into it if they are considering a medical field and can’t really stand the idea of med school ( mainly the lab part of med school)
Well, now that I am confused, I really need to think about what I want to do. I need to look over all the benefits and the cons of working for each place and whether I will be happy there. But for now, I have to do some homework for tonight.
