When it comes to picking a future career, I have a hard time deciding exactly what I’m going to do. The good thing is that my major (Pharmaceutical Sciences) allows me to follow a path that leads into a bunch of careers. All of which I am interested in. I have taken an interest in clinical pharmacy in the past few months! As of right now this is the past that I think would work best for me. So far, every semester of college I have taken a chemistry course. While these classes are very difficult, they have allowed me to take interest in how many things and concepts in our world work. My major also requires that I take classes about drug discovery, development, and even common drugstore products. This has helped me to understand the basic workings of medicine. I am currently applying for pharmacy tech positions! This will allow me to get pharmacy experience as an undergrad and will test if I actually want to continue on with pharmacy. Through the school of Pharmacy here at OSU I was able to attend a career fair/professional Q&A. This event allowed me to get into contact with individuals with jobs relating to my major. One of the professionals I spoke with explained how she obtained her healthcare relating job with only a 4 year degree. This was very interesting to me because I am not 100% sure about how I feel about going to school for an extra 4 years plus a residency. She was able to answer many of my questions and explained how I need to get there!
