Reasons for selecting this career path

When I was younger, I had an interest in a career in medicine, I wanted to be a veterinarian.  So, I began working at a local CVS retail store, where once I became of age, I was able to transfer into the Pharmacy.  From then on, I took immediate interest in the work I was doing, the connections I made with team members and of course the customers.
