Surely there will be some people out there who might not have much passion in what they study, but instead are using it as a gateway for money-making. It's quite clear that quite a few of us enter pharmacy with the intention of striking it rich. If you had any experience with seniors selling their wares to juniors before returning to Malaysia, you'll come up with the same conclusion. But I also happen to know a few of our colleagues who do give a rat's ass about the profession.There are those who are intent on raising healthcare standards, providing services to customers, raising the awareness to the professional role of the pharmacist. I have to agree with you on the argument that if their ultimate goal was to open a business, why limit your opportunities only to pharmacy and go through the 8 gruelling semesters? My brother studied business cos he felt it gave him the freedom to enter any line of business he wanted, and true enough that happened. Honestly I am slightly concerned about how people in our line of work don't seem to get that they themselves are instrumental in affecting the future. It's because so many people's mindsets are stuck on waiting for 'someone else to do the job', that at the end of the day nothing changes. So my take on the light bulb question: Any pharmacist would be able to change the lightbulb. But some may only do it for a charge. Oh well, that is the reality of things in our side.
