After five weeks at a pharmacy I realize that working at a job like that, while handy for when there’s nothing else, is definitely not for me. Shelving pills and counting them out for $12 an hour per diem is my nightmare. 
The per diem is a deal breaker and most of the jobs I found available thought I’d love to work full time without any insurance or benefits. Lovely.
I’m going to see about working a day or two a week until I start school again. Yep, I want to start school for my Masters. I’m looking into a couple of local schools — one in Fullerton, the other is UCLA — for Library Science.
My brother’s friend wanted to go into the same major but the thought of working for free for a lengthy period of time drove her off. Apparently you’re supposed to be getting paid before you’re fully qualified! I’ve found my direction again.
Even if the major doesn’t work out I do want to go beyond having a BA. The job market for pharmacy tech made me re-think selling myself short for comfort.
Good luck with your plan of studying Masters, I hope you’ll do well. When I was having my internship back in summer, it made me realize that a “desk job” sitting in front of a computer for 8 hours doing “official work” is definitely not for me. Sure I could stay in front of the computer for hours on end but when doing work for the office? Ack. Sooo not for me. Sheesh.
That sort of job definitely isn’t for everyone. I hope you’ve found something that is right for you.
What is Library Science?
Good luck on your Masters degree!

It’s librarian-stuff… but I changed my mind after hearing about my friend’s ultra-cool programming degree. Why can’t I figure it out? :9
