Thread: What are excellent jobs to have prior to applying for a Pharmaceutical Sales job?

I'm starting community college in a few days for either a Business Administration or Business Marketing degree. Which is better for Pharmaceutical Sales?

Not only which is better for pharmaceutical sales, but which is more useful and what is a better major in general? I always want to know I can find good work.

Secondly, as Pharmaceutical Sales is my goal job, what are jobs that would look great on a resume before I apply to Pharmaceutical companies?

All help is greatly appreciated.

Excellent jobs would be pharmacy tech, pharmacist, nurse, doctor, or someone in sales/marketing. I would stick with pharmacy tech though, because everything else pretty much requires a degree from 2 years to 8 years, and after that time you might decide to be committed to that profession rather than drug rep. Also working in the pharmacy will give you an idea of what pharmacies and patients really need.
