Jamie Reidy was an English major at Notre Dame who knew so little about science, he dropped out of chemistry because he was failing. He enrolled in the Army, then in the 1990s landed a job at Pfizer peddling Viagra. His book, Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman, has been adapted into a new film, Love and Other Drugs, starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Reidy spoke to NEWSWEEK's Ramin Setoodeh about the ups and downs—and ups—of his career.
