"Trouble is, in applying for clerical, data entry-type positions, "pharmacist" is still on my resume and interviewers cannot understand why I would accept a position that pays so much less."

As you can imagine you are not the only person who has run into this line of questioning when looking to extend beyond their existing careers. The sad truth is that you might have to knock on a few more doors that others chasing the same jobs. The good news is that there are certainly employers out there who will recognize the opportunity to get someone with your skills and qualifications and jump at the chance to hire you.

Good luck. We're sure you'll do well.
