So here is a potential career path I would like to hear some thoughts on .

Hope im not breaking any type of rules but lets just say my true passion in life is that of a salesman . An obscure one .

Now I realize once you get older this type of life is unsustainable . I have no idea what else I would like to do long-term . Nothing that I would enjoy anyway

So lets say I earned a PhD in pharmacology which would be (not easy per se) but easy enough since ive always been passionate about that as well , how could I come to work for a pharm company that manufactures oxy, valiums etc and broker the deals between my company and the pharmacies that buy them ?

Eg . Legal drug dealer . In a suit . Completely within the law . Perfect life in my eyes

Now im not really interested in speculation as I have lots of that within my own circle but actual real ways I could make this happen for myself .

Thanks guys .
 
I think you are imagining it to be more fun than it would be. You will most likely be stuck in a cubicle doing cold calling all day until you prove yourself. Then you graduate to being a traveling salesman which means you are going to spend most of your time stuck in airports or in traffic.
 
Agreed, your romantic ideal of what the position might be like could be way off the mark. Being an illicit drug dealer is fun if you're a nice guy because people want to get the drugs you're selling and people will be more open with you if you're friendly and professional. Being a salesman for a pharmaceutical company would likely suck because you're not dealing directly with customers who want to use the product you're selling, but rather with other businesses who are more interested in the profit involved with reselling the drugs to patients who need them.
 
Yea like others have said you are making it out to be way way way more glamorous than it actually is. It's not like you'll just be selling the cool prescriptions like opiates, benzos, ect; Even if you are it will be just like any other sales job, no different than selling say central heat and air unites to office buildings. I don't see why anybody would go though the trouble of getting a pharmacology PHD if they were just planning to go into a sales job. If that is what you are passionate about why not go into research? Even that is over glamorized and people delusionaly think they are going to be like Alexander Shulgin but still is something you should go into if that is something you should consider going into rather than sales.
 
Being on the phone and in traffic all day doesn't sound all that different from a real dope dealer tbh.
 
You in the states? You could just sell all the good stuff that the FDA hasn't gotten a hold of yet. No PHD required.
 
Forgot about this thread . Being stuck in airports and traffic doesnt sound bad to me . I love to travel that on its own would make me happy .

Looks like Id just need marketing and sales degrees .

I dont care if im not always selling the good stuff, im still making my living off of chemicals people put into their bodies . Its the principle , ya dig ?

Not sure about it . But thanks for you .02$ everyone :)
 
Have you worked in sales before? I'd imagine, since the medical field is so high stakes, that pharmaceutical companies would only be interested in experienced candidates regardless of their formal education. You can have all the degrees in the world, but if you haven't actually made a sale, you'd probably get passed up for someone with less credentials attached to their name with real world experience.

Tl;dr: Get a regular sales job first. Get some experience.
