re: More important: job satisfaction or convenient schedule?

Sounds like the consensus is that a good schedule is worth a little sacrifice in job satisfaction.

Like I said, it's not that my job is hard or stressful or anything like that. It's just monotonous and tedious sometimes. Don't feel like I'm utilizing my pharmacy education and not getting to help with patient care like I initially got into this profession to do.

As far as picking up a side job, I'm not interested in that. I believe in working to live, not living to work. I think 40 hrs/week is plenty enough and my pay covers our financial needs. The idea is to have more time with the family, not less.

When I was single and working only 3 (12's) or 4 (10's) days a week, I would occasionally pick up an extra shift at another pharmacy just for the heck of it. But once I switched to 5 days/week, I quit that. I kinda like my days off!
