Am in a mad rush to finish 4 projects....reminds me of my year 2 life. accept that this is so much more impt now, because these projects are done, (at least to me) for the sake of honing my future career skills.

At the point when we're going to graduate in 6 months, i'm wondering whether i should be doing pre-registration. pre-registration means i can practise as a pharmacist. initially, i am very much deterred by the cold and strict environment of the hospital. i don't think i want to ever, work there. then i went to HPB, saw all the job opportunities there, was thinking, maybe i could see it in my future career options. but first, i need to gain some work experience. so i tot, maybe i could work with some pharma company so i don't have to do pre-reg and have work experience. then i tot, maybe IMH would be interesting.

then i attended this talk by GSK marketing manager. she reminded me of my earlier resolution to be in retail. and her final words were "do pre-reg". well. so i guess, i'll still be doing pre-reg, in retail, or if IMH wants me, i'll try. for 3 years maybe. If retail, maybe 4 years? Somehow, i don't see people in retail staying for a very long time. but we'll see how, maybe i can become area manager for guardian one day? I'm not a very clinical person, so retail is my thing. besides, i can sound altruistic and say, i want to do retail because i feel that improving the health of the public does not only lie in giving and ensuring correct medicine. with the successful marketing of supplements, more and more people need an objective advice regarding such issues. I believe that a person walking in to ask for information is more receptive to advice than a sick person. so i think the way to really impact lives is from retail. and more imptly, a person should also be entitled to professional advice even when they are healthy.
