<p>[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 1107382"]I think a better question is why would a capital sales rep "god" feel the need to post on this board?

I am in the pharma industry now and things are obviously different.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is pharma sometimes degrading? Yes? Is it a fulfilling job? No. Can you make a decent living working 25 hours a week? Yes. Why is it that so many people need to define themselves by what they do as a vocation?</p><p><br /></p><p>I spent ten years alienating myself from my wife.

What the hell difference will it make in 30 years when you are old what you did for a living? How many people sit on their death bed and say that they wish they had done something else for a living?
