re: I’m 46 and I just applied to med school

Depends on what product you are pushing. I know a baw that is in pharma sales and does quite well. Only thing from what I understand, is that it is contract work. After a year or two you may not have a job anymore.

Someone with a Pharm D would be better off trying to get a MSL position. Its essentially like a drug rep, except you go around pitching to insurance carriers and state Medicaid programs as to why they should carry a particular drug. You are allowed to use and cite studies and compare it to other medications. You also get a guaranteed salary and don’t work off commission
