First of all not sure if this should belong here or in the careers section
A bit of a background, did my A-levels (flopped) did some retakes and did well enough to get into pharmacy school.
Embarked on a 4 year course, obtained a 2:1 MPharm. In all honesty I hated it since 2nd year and found it boring however I remained dedicated to finish it.
At the moment I'm doing my training year and I hate it even more, one small mistake and the patient could potentially end up in critical care and you could be struck off, hearing other pharmacists telling me to get out of the profession ASAP and seeing salaries drop.
I have an exam coming up which is the ultimate one and if I pass my salary will go to £19-£22 an hour (locum work). However if I fail I have to wait until June/July 2019.
I understand that earning that sort of salary at 24/25 is good however the salary remains there it doesn't go up (if anything it will go down)
My question is: What other careers can I do, was thinking of going into Oil and Gas or Chartered Accountancy but I have no idea whether I'll end up not liking them, is it the case of the grass is always greener on the other side?
Should I just man up and stick it out because at the end of the day a job is a job?
