A few notes from friends of mine who work as pharmisists…

1) Some jobs (esp in retail) will want you to work saturdays, if you are shomer shabbat (and If you are reading YWN that is probably true) you will not be able to get those jobs. Mind you I have Shomer Shabbat Pharmacists friends and they have jobs, its just there are some limits.

2) When people ask you what you do for a living you can say that you “Sell Drugs” or the like.

3) The job will require you stand for most of the day, if you have bad feet it might not be for you.

IF you think you will like it I would suggest doing some reading and talk to some people who are in the field. Maybe even as a pharmasist if you can shadow them for a day or two. After all if you are not going to like the job its better to find that out sooner rather than later 😉
