I’m a pharmacy student who just finished my P2 year. It seems like everyone is interested in doing a residency or going into the industry, but I’m not really interested in either. I would like to work at an independent pharmacy or in an outpatient hospital pharmacy or mail in order pharmacy. Honestly, I’m just tired of studying right now, and all I can think about is graduating. I’ve shadowed clinical pharmacists before, and I don’t think that’s the path for me.

Is it going to be a problem if I don’t pursue a residency like other students? I feel a lot of pressure to do one because it seems like that’s what everyone expects.
