Might eventually go to school again. But generally I hate schools. Tried a higher education twice, but always left after a few months. Too much bull**** to handle for a piece of paper. Too bad that piece of paper is almost like currency these days.

I do business development (fancy term for sales) for a global transportation company to meet all of your supply chain needs. So yes, I can answer questions as to why your supplements, etc. cost what they do. Lots of pressure when working for a publically traded company, but I have very good job security. Which helps when you have young children.

Never the less it is a great / growing industry no matter what kind of pharmacist you become.
To get into school you have to have at least 2 years undergrad (for all PharmD programs). Some schools have a 6year PharmD program that combines those 2 undergrad years. I got my bachelors in my home state then moved here for school.
Oncology pharm is some tough stuff! We've got a great teacher for it at least. Not sure what I'm going to do when I'm done.
