Describing pros e cons (Profession: Pharmacist) - by Maria Nilce (I1)

First of all, I’d like to say that any profession can be good when people work with love.
On the one hand, being a pharmacist is rewarding because you are taking care of people’s health. On the other hand, working as a pharmacist is pretty difficult because you aren’t a doctor, but, frequently people think that it’s possible to visit a pharmacist instead of seeing a doctor when they or their relatives are sick (or have any disease). However, many times the pharmacist must ask people to go to a hospital. Sometimes, people don’t like it when a pharmacist makes this.
In addition, a pharmacist takes many responsibilities. For example: He must pay attention not to exchange medication; pay attention to factory expiration date of the drugs; explain to people about risks of self-medication and to teach how to pratice responsible self-medication. Besides, he can meet doctor’s prescriptions mistakes and explain customer’s doubts.
Sometimes a pharmacist works more than 12 hours a day and there is no fixed schedule, mainly if he is owner of drugstore! However, a pharmacist can teach at College, but I don’t know if he would earn more than a professional that works in a drugstore, hospital, laboratory or industry.
Maybe a professor has better hours than an owner of a drugstore!
