I feel sorry for people stuck in pharma sales selling ridiculous synthetic hormones not caring about the risk to otherwise healthy patients. Access to Heathcare offices are the worst and they have to beg some kind hearted prescriber to do a “Dog and Pony” show for urgent manager and home office field visits. Representatives get few, if any, stock options and have to go thru “Reorganizations” every few years. It shows how much pharmaceutical sales has fallen with all the generic competition and compliance rules. Car sales is a much better career and has a much brighter future because everyone will be required to buy new low emissions/ electric vehicles. Car market is growing while branded pharmaceuticals is shrinking. 30 years ago 70% of prescribed medicines were branded and 30% generic. Today, over 90% are generic and less than 10% are branded. Pharmaceutical executives want to cash stock options and are very willing to market 1980’s science for weigh loss. No one seems concerned about cancers caused by these artificial medicines. Pharmaceutical companies are desperate because little exciting in pipelines. Employees and patients suffer. The government and insurance does not want to pay 10X the price as Germany, Japan, and Canada. Government wants everyone to drive new cars.
