getting paid a lot of money to just count pills and take prescription orders doesn't sound too bad to me

Pharmacy = very easy job.

I can see someone hating dentist, but why pharmacist?

vericose veins.

oh, and those that work walgreens/rite-aid/CVS...wherever. when you match your knowledge and skills to the type of service you perform in this sector, it is extremely, extremely depressing.

it's not the only sector in pharmacy, but it is a very high alcoholic sector..

care to tell how it's not easy?
it may be pretty damn difficult becoming a pharmacist, but the several people I know(one who goes to UCSF pharm school) who are working to become a pharmacist are doing it because it's an easy job that pays a lot.
reciting side effects ain't exactly a difficult job, and patients who have problems goes to their doctors.

Why drink when you've got access to the high test stuff? 😛

agree.... the sooner these morons learn acting stupid has consequences, the sooner we can go back to living the good life.

Being a Dentist is quite monotonous, but they never bought into HMOs like the MDs so they have that going for them. I've had numerous Docs tell me they wish they would've went the dentistry path.

can i haz brown noze too?

I was accepted in my sophomore year to Pharmacy school...looking back I wish I did it. It may have been a boring job to me, but I'd be making at least double what I make now and have much better benefits (S. Florida).

Personally you really have nothing to lose to do it. Four years of college is a blast, being in a professional school is a great way to meet desirable partners, etc

yup, most people I know who pursued a professional degree actually went to school to get laid and accidently wound up with a degree.

reciting side effects ain't exactly a difficult job, and patients who have problems goes to their doctors.

Except it goes way beyond reciting side effects. Anyone can eventually memorize all the side effects and recite them. Pharmacists need to make evidence-based decisions and judgments, which means they need to stay on top of the latest developments and trials and understand the implications for their patients.

They need to manage their patients medication regimens, which can be very complex and is not a clean-cut x interacts with y so remove x and add z. The pharmacist needs to understand the interactions, including the degree of interaction, and the impact on the patient. With this information, the pharmacist can make clinical decisions and optimize the patients medications.

A pharmacist can also compound different medications. This can range from mixing several stock solutions into one to turning a tablet or capsule into a transdermal gel or oral solution to making IV admixtures. There are many incompatibilities, both physical and chemical, that can arise from these processes. The pharmacist needs to be aware of these and know how to prevent them.

The profession of pharmacy is a broad field with many different areas of practice. What I've said above is just some of the skills and knowledge a pharmacist needs. Just as importantly, a pharmacist needs to be care for and be empathetic towards his or her patients and practice good patient care. They need to education other health care professionals. There's a lot more to pharmacy than one may think.

Clinical pharmacy is *NOT* easy. Especially if you are on one of the more accute satellites. Some ICU patients have med lists 25 pages long. My wife has spent 4-6 hours dosing ONE PATIENT some days.

No. I'm still in school right now, but I'm going to need a job later than I'm going to want to go to. I need a job where I get out and actually do something. Sure I could be a dentist or a pharmacist and make good money while I'm at it, but I'm definitely not going to enjoy it. Also, I don't want to spend all those extra years and all the extra money on school. A 4 year undergraduate degree is more than enough for me.

That's why I'm planning on becoming a police officer.

I'm working on the same path but finished school about 3 years ago. Eventually with overtime I will have the potential to make over 100K a year. Assuming I get hired lol.

I hate working in a cube farm and couldn't imagine standing around or sitting in a room full of shelves all day.

Was on my way to becoming a lawyer and even had the college to go to. Decided to go into advertising and never looked back. I still want my court tv and for them to show those live court shows.

corporate world has been good to me

Pharma.. yeah, I'd like to have gone that route.

I don't think law is for everyone, certainly not for me so I did not include it.

I work in a corporate setting right now and there's the pressure to perform, avoid layoffs, kiss ass and the money isn't great. It provides high risk/high reward and potential to make lots of money and job satisfaction, but the stress will always be there. I know some friends who are in pharmacy school now and they will get the benefit of being in school for additional 4 yrs and make 120k plus upon graduation. They're probably laughing all the way to the bank.

Those friends you have might not have a job when they get their degree with the number of diploma mills being built.

you're giving waay too much credit to a profession where if you enter in one prescription and another, the computer will bring up all the adverse interactions you need to know. Truth is, Pharmacy is becoming a saturated field, and is already saturated in california, New York, and just about any place that is desirable to live. And unlike doctors, pharmacists don't retire nearly as quickly, so the market will only get more and more tight as time goes on. This can, of course, be attributed to nursing as well. Dentistry is still doing pretty well, but to make money there, you need to own a clinic.

 

[Gibson486]

Lets see....

for me to make what a phramicist makes, I have to eventually become a PE, which takes 4 years.

4 years working and getting money, buying kneepads, taking up the rear and growing white hairs....once i get the PE, work weeks become longer and your phone never stops riging and clients become more anoying for months on end....the 120K salary does not start until I hit project engineer level, though

vs

4 years of pharm school getting a$$ from the other students, you get nice hours like 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off through the whole year, while still getting vacation time. Clients only bug your for an hour at the most. You never have to do 40 hrs worth of work in 2 days to meet deadlines.....

I wish I went to pharm school🙁

My sister is a pharmacist at Walgreens. She's not an alcoholic, but I could see it someday. Some of the stories I hear about the degenerates she has to serve...
