I was a political science major then went to law school for one semester, dropped it and switched to business school. My never ending love is election campaigns, but my education cycle never synced well with the election cycle in the early years when I could have made it a career/job so fell into marketing departments by default. Have worked in all kinds of industries and have worked on many political campaigns as an unpaid/volunteer communications consultant to satisfy the itch. My “hero” is Mary Matalin who did what I would have wanted to do and ironically her switch to the Libertarian party followed my own political maturation and her marriage closely mirrored the household I grew up in, with a staunch Republication and an uber liberal Democrat sparking lively debate on a daily basis.
I am an attorney who started out in private practice (YUCK) and moved over to in-house counsel. There are days I love my job, and days I don’t love it so much. I will echo what @MomofWildChild said: new lawyers usually have to put in at least a few years at a firm before they can get an in-house gig, but it’s a good deal if you can get it. It’s much easier to get some work/life balance in-house.
For those who don’t perhaps get hospital pharmacy, they are the brains behind so many things! Any med questions, the pharmacist knows. They calculate, get the numbers right for us nurses, impart the details of complicated med regimes to the patients, and are on top of research so as to help both patients and the nursing and medical staff>>>
thank you. it really is a great and interesting profession.
There are so many career tracks within nursing>>>>>>>>
There really are and you might have to “pay your dues” for a few years to get to take advantage of one of them, but there are many.
