I graduated in 1990 when pharmacy school was 2 years of pre-pharmacy and 4 years of pharmacy school for a total of 6 years. Now schools are so competitive that most applicants have a 4-year undergrad, then 4 years of pharmacy school and 1 year of residency and perhaps a 1 year fellowship. That is 10 years of school, you might has well be a medical doctor.
Soooo informative and inspiring. I’ve had a hard time committing to this career as a student, even though I do love it, but you’ve brought so much light to it’s potential. Thank you!
Although there are a ton of negative comments about being a pharmacist, I still love being a pharmacist. Thank you for your video, bring a lot positive vibes to this career.
I’m 13 and I’ve always dreamed of working in the medical field.I’ve done lots of research and I would really like to have this job!! I just got requested for bio advanced for high school and I can’t wait. 😀
Such a great video! I have a PhD and I am a science writer as well with a focus on writing marketing content for life and health sciences. Loved hearing that you write regulatory documents. Keep up the great work!
idk why “and for some reason you like working with elderly people” made me laugh😂😂
I love this, this was so helpful!!! I am looking into becoming a pharmacist but I was afraid because of Job saturation, but I think I am going to do it!!
Pharmacists and pharmacist techs have very important jobs and they help a lot of people.
I have recently come across your channel and I love watching your videos. They’re so informative and it’s motivating me a lot! I’m just finishing up my undergrad and will start applying to pharmacy schools soon.
Pros: money Cons: education needed
As a current RN who want to become a hospital pharmacist, I am encouraged
retail is my fave (clock in clock out) like going to a hospital to learn
Tuition and time isn’t an issue for me. I’m Canadian and have the luxury of living at my parents with nothing else I can do with my life. So 6 years of school or continue working minimum wage. I can’t create a company or a biz I have no skills.
Thank you for always bringing so much value! As always very helpful 😊
I have been a Pharmacist for 26 yrs . Please Do not listen to this Lady ,do your own research ,Pharmacy is not the profession that it was 10 or 20 yrs ago . In Retrospect, I would never do Pharmacy and I told My children Not to peruse Pharmacy . The insurances most often under pay for the medication that you would dispense and if you work for retailers they treat you like a slave plus there are already so many Pharmacist out there without a job .
There are also divisions like D-pharm B-pharm M-pharm Pharm-D
I've heard a lot about magic mushrooms, DMT, LSD but can't find a place to get them, I've got terrible depression and anxiety
Pharmacist's salaries are coming down or have been stagnant for over a decade. There is no pay gap. If you can't get your degree for less than $85K of student loans then it isn't worth it.
Imagine studying for 10+ years and pilling up $300k+ in debt and earning roughly $120k and being 30years old. Think about it.
