Too bad I sucked at chemistry.
Well,now it is about 8+ years of school. Pharmacy is a great career, but due to all of the politics surrounding it, it can seem like you are just a pill dispenser and not a healthcare provider. This is why I refuse to work in the retail setting. You lose a lot of clinical experience working at say CVS.
