Every occupation has its good and bad. Being a pharmacist isn't the most enjoyable profession; the long years of extreme schooling followed by a career of long hours located in a building that smells like a retirement home will doubt the choice you made, but the thought of yourself helping and curing people will give you a pure sensation of pride.
