Should I go into pharmacy aiming for industry or is it unrealistic?

So I’ve been hearing a lot of negativity on pharmacy lately and it’s pushing me away from the field. I know for sure if I go to pharmacy school I will not do retail pharmacy. I’m very much leaning towards industry (maybe hospital if I can’t break into Industry). I know a pharmacist in industry pharmacy that said she would talk to some people and help me break into industry pharmacy when I get there. The problem is, I’m not sure if this is enough. I’ve heard from everyone that industry pharmacy is insanely hard to get into. I’m also hearing that pharmacy as a whole is very saturated. Some alternative career paths Im thinking of are dental or medical because the ROI is better, but I feel like my heart is set on pharmacy. A question to current pharmacists, is it worth it? How hard is it really to break into industry? Should I choose a different career path altogether?
