This career path also lines up with one of my higher rated categories, self-worth and I can see why. Comparing this to something like retail it seems like the pharmacist has a lot more respect and responsibility in long term care, which piques my interest.

This contributed to the advancement of my career goals by helping me realize the type of work environment I feel would fit me the best and the job shadow also helped me figure out that even though Occupational Therapy can be rewarding and you are helping a wide variety of people, this career path does not suit me. There are other jobs out there that give me the opportunity to help people in other ways, as well as suiting my needs environmentally as well.
