There is no doubt pharmacy has a lot to offer and is not necessarily a bad gig for many.

Despite all the perks and positive aspects of the job, I simply do not enjoy the day to day work. In fact, Im quite miserable most days.

My plan is to give the flying thing a try. There is certainly a chance I will end up back in the pharmacy, but at least I gave it a shot. Perhaps flying will give me a big dose of perspective that will make me appreciate my current career. Or, perhaps I will be moving into a career where I am happier. Hopefully it will be a win win situation.
