This Question From Pharmacist Jokes | 3 Answers
My parents both are very hard working people who want the best for me and my sister. They want me to become a pharmacist but i have always wanted to do something in law enforcement (im kind of an adrenaline junkie). I have told them about my interests but they got a little pissed. I have thought about combining pharmacy with the military so i can balence my interests but i would only be doing pharmacy work. i am currently in college as a freshman in pre-pharmacy. i dont want to hurt my parents dreams because they have told everyone about me becoming a pharmacist. many of my parents friends ‘ children are doing pharmacy. Pharmacy is no joke and im not the ‘perfect’ student. i have always wanted to do something with action but my parents jus want me to be financially stable in life. i know this is a long explanation; please help, this has been bothering me for awhile.

Pharmacy is really a hard program but the rewards are great. You can really get an adrenaline rush from working in a hospital. It is really stressful working in retail as well. You can become member of a board of pharmacy and get limited police training and become a peace officer and do drug busts. You can nab people who forge fake prescriptions and combine law and pharmacy or you can become a pharmaceutical company attorney. You will get high pressure jobs. If you do not have heart in pharmacy it will be hard to make it though the program. It is a hard program and takes years of study. It is not fun. You can end up in just an any annoying stressful job. You will get high pay no matter what.
Your parents are not going to live your life for you. They are wrong to want you to do what “they” would like. This is one case where you must follow your gut instinct to choose a life-career that will satisfy you. I never interfered with my children’s interests but rather encouraged them. As a result they are all doing what they love and loving what they do. Man, I’d love to be able to read the riot act to your parents. They need an education in this area. I say this with all due respect.
Sweetie…parents have this facade and dream of what they want their children to be. Of course, wealthy and successful and no matter what costs, even if it means not being happy. Your mother and father are just being parents, wanting the best for you but not letting you go for what you want. I was in the same shoes. I want to be a nurse, my mother also wanted me to be a pharmacist and I was going to consider it, but I didn’t want to behind a counter all day and told her how I felt. She went clean off! She told me it’s not about happiness, but being financially secure.
I believe in total happiness, from personal, to occupational, to relationships. This is your life and your future. If you want to go monkey trainer school, you should do it and they should respect that. Pharmacy is a good stable and flexible career with a lot of opportunities, but many pharmacists that I have interviewed wish they never even CONSIDERED pharmacy, they literally hate their jobs. Pharmacy is not for everyone and law enforcement isn’t for everyone, but somebody wants to do it. I say go for your dream and do your best. Ain’t nobody gonna be paying your bills but you. Best wishes and fight for what you want!!!!
