Medical Forum / General / Pharmacy / August 2003Hospital pharmacy or retail pharmacy?

Can anyone verify this based on experience? Thanx > Hello, > I'm going into my 1st year of Pharmacy this September here in Canada.

I worked 3-4 years in Hospital after I became registered in the mid 60's and switched to retail because retail paid a lot more...and it sure was not as boring as Hospital work... However Retail honestly does not offer you much of an intelletual chalange..the work hours are worst and you have to interact with the general public (for me that was a plus) I am now retired and all that I can say if that I "personally" made the correct decision 30+ years ago...
