They are not exactly entry-level type of jobs...
those jobs are pretty hard. pharmacists do more than distribute drugs.
Pharmacist, yeh. Mostly because my parents want me to do something in the medical field (I'm leaning more toward microbiology or computers/engineering)
I won't mention this to my mom. She's been trying to get one of us to do pharmacy. Asian parents are all about the medical field (both of my parents are in it).
I think I'm working towards being an art director, but since I'm in the entertainment industry editing is also an option. =)
These are all mostly jobs that you get after years in the field, years of schooling (you even need a big degree for the human resources position), and lots of work. The six figures are definitely earned.
not interested. going to be a dermatologist anyways.. 7 figures :)
My field does dab into Human Resources. I may have to take a look into that first one.
My mom has been begging me to become a pharmacist. Now, I just might.
All of these would take you years of experience at a salary less than 6 figures, or in the case of the pharmacist, years of school, to get to that level. You definitely have to pay your dues.
i've heard of all these jobs, which one of them i'm going to get there one day.
These are all great areas to go into. They are not jobs that can be sent overseas.
Being an astronomer would be fun, looking at the skies all day, ha! A few of my friends are going to college to become pharmacists. I'm happy for them.
Haha, both of my parents are pharmacists. I think know a little bit too much about drugs than I should because of them -_-
I am studying to be a pharmacist...it's not easy to do, and excuse me we do a lot more than distributing drugs!!
