There are loads of jobs in the Pharmaceutical Industry. I don't directly work for a big pharmaceutical company, I work for a company who is brought in to different companies to provide extra people to work on specific projects. The reason for this is we can staer relatively quickly rather than getting a full time position, and can be removed as soon as the work ends. The downside is that per hour we cost more.

For me the advantage is I get exposure to all areas of the industry which will help later on.

Drug reps speak to doctors mainly or other persons to try to get them to prescribe the product. They have a basic degree and are purely in sales. I can do a variety of things, from writing the materials they use, to providing medical knowledge onto getting the drugs approved in the first place, as well as a load of others.
