Then 2-10 for residency depending. Or a pharmacist who goes for 6-8 years. Or a nurse who goes anywhere from 2-7 years. Or a physicians assistant for 4-6 years. Or a somebody going to graduate school in a related subject…well we won’t go there. That’s a lifetime. That’s why they are called experts. That’s my goal… So tell me, why is the individual that has gone to school for only a month teaching the people that are learning for a lifetime? I suppose they’re only focusing on one drug. However, do these people have the background to fully understand the biochemical and pharmacological aspects of the drugs they are selling? Are they even getting a fair and balanced education on the drugs? Why, K Cuv, you know what they call your tactic? Attacking the messenger. If it makes you feel better–by all means go for it. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ugh-pharmaceutical-sales/16123)._
