[header] How to get an animal pharmaceutical sales job [title] Attain a college degree. [substeps] Although there is no discipline in college that speaks directly to animal pharmaceutical sales, it is still wise to get a degree in an area that is, at least, indirectly related. The degree you hold should be somehow related to the animal studies or science. 
These might include biology, chemistry and animal husbandry. A bachelors degree is preferred, but some seeking to enter the field of pharmaceutical reps go for a graduate degree to increase their chances of getting hired.
