What is my path to becoming a pharmaceutical rep?

Question

I'm a junior in high school and I hope to be a pharmaceutical rep after college. I took biology, chemistry and in physics right now, any other classes i should take in high school? I am hoping to take AP chem next year. When i get into college, what classes should i take there? I welcome any and all answers that help me in any way.

Answer 1

Sales, marketing, and catering courses.

It's great that you're taking these classes, but having that background is not necessarily going to help you get the job.

Your looks, your poise, and your sales ability will help you get the job.  Those courses will help you through the training though.

After college you'll likely need another sales job before getting hired in pharma.

I suggest you find a rep to talk to and ask them what they did.   You might want to ask what they do as well.   They know some big words, but it's not a technical job.
