I am interested in pharmacologist because I really wish people may no longer suffer from the attack of diseases, and through researching, I realized that pharmacologist can really resolve this major problem. Another reason is because the problem solving essence of this career. Although not always, pharmacologists often have a clear goal for what to accomplish in their research and product development, and this is really attractive to me since I tend to like doing work with a clear envisage instead of discover things in a completely free environment.
