Is pharmaceutical science worth pursuing?

[dancs]

Currently finishing up my first year college pharmaceutical science
Anyone think it’s worth pursuing or have any experience in it?

Yes. But it can get pretty tedious and theres a lot of contradictions and magic wands waved to make the drug action fit into a particular model/worldview, but apart from that its fine.
