> [@TurboTSi](#): > > And Simplyfocused, fuck you if you think I don’t have enough education to go out and promote my products to the “all-mighty doctors.” I have a 4 year college degree, just like everyone else in the industry. I went to training and learned everything about the drug, (seriously, how long do you think it takes to learn all about 1 drug) certainly not 1-3 years. I’m not out there diagnosing patient’s so I don’t think I need to go to school for 8 years to sell pharmaceuticals. The pharmacist can relate to certain things with the doctor and she has a little more “experience” with all types of drugs, but in the end it all comes down to product knowledge. If you have that, it doesn’t matter what title you hold. get off my nuts, a doctor selling to another is ideal situation. I’m sorry but if i carried an MD, I think I would listen to someone more intently that had a D next to their name. And i think you would too. That title is worth gold It takes 8 years to understand how the body is effected by drugs. After that you apply the knowledge. While it isn’t necessary, i do think that the pharmacist has not the experience but more knowledge to apply about a certain drug. I don’t care how long you spent learning about the drug, there are going to be things that a guy with a pharm doctorate will better explain then youu will. I know you know enough to sell and make doctors listen, but i think they know a little bit more. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ugh-pharmaceutical-sales/16123)._
