Remember the times as a child being asked the infamous question, “So what do you want to be when you grow up?” Back then, our imaginations went wild, from wanting to be an artist, to an astronaut, or some type of superstar. As we grow older and realize our many talents, we start to become a little more realistic about our professional choices. But how many of us really thought about a career in pharmacy? It seemed as if pharmacy was some sort of secret society that was all about counting pills. No one was really talking about it and how great of a profession it truly was. Luckily individuals have ventured out into this profession to share of its many wonders and now pharmacy is recognized as a top career choice.
