1. Career Path: In order to pursue a career as a pharmacist, I would first have to attend undergraduate school. A full bachelor's degree is not required to enter all pharmacy schools, but it is suggested. Two years of undergrad school is required for entry. After most likely getting a full bachelor's degree, I would need to be accepted into and attend pharmaceutical school. In order to be accepted, I would need to sign up for and pass the PCAT (Pharmacy College Admission Test). In order to receive the title of a pharmacist, which is technically Pharm.D, I would need to attend Pharmacy College for four successful years in order to graduate with my degree. In order to become a licensed pharmacist, I would have to pass the NAPLEX (North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination) and the MPJE (Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Exam) for most states.
2. Tasks: I enjoy learning about the medicines and what they do. For example, when I fill prescriptions, I like to know why it is prescribed and how it will help the patient. Side effects of medicine also interest me. In terms of completing tasks at the pharmacy, filling prescriptions on the computer is the most fulfilling, because it took me a while to learn how to do it.
