We apply for a new job for a variety of reasons. Sometimes we just want to earn more money, or change our routine, perhaps move to another place, meet new people, see new places. More often than not, however, there is something we dislike about our present place of work. It can be something minor, but it can also be something big, the main reason why we consider leaving our present employer.

chose pharmacy because I was always interested in healthcare and helping people. I wanted to be a physician from a young age, but didn't have a realistic idea about how to pursue that goal. Also, I've never been particularly interested in touching people or being exposed to bodily fluids. The idea of malpractice insurance and years of residency scared me too. Pharmacy seemed to fit me.
