My mom hates pharmacy because we came from India and pharmacists pretty much have no respect there. Just called compounders. She wants me to be some other doctor but im not into surgery. And she said that if become doctor atleast i could go to india and still practice there with degree from USA. I might consider going back one day but not until much later. I love India and my family and cousins are all there but im just used to living in clean and modern country like america. My dad doesnt care as long as i can support myself. How do explain to my mom pharmacy is good?
everytime i try to talk to her about it she just gets mad and tells me how everyone back home in india will laugh. theres no respect for pharmacist there cuz at every corner theres a medicine store and just normal people distribute medicines all u need is doctors prescription. theres like 10 medicine stores on 1 block. so no demand for pharmacists at all. and my mom wants me to go back to india when im older like 40 or so. i would like to go back too around that age but cant if i do pharmacy but still want to stay here for a while.
btw my moms best friend is also a successful pharmacist she also from india. but she plans on livin in usa all life. i tell my mom how successful she is but she just get mad.
