This fall you are planning on starting pharmacy school. I was in your shoes 3 years ago and I am now in my p4 year. The stories are true and you should be informed about what you are going into. New grads are now starting at 90k/year if you get full time hours. When I entered it was about $115k. That's right, in just 3 years, 25k/year. At this rate be prepared for 50-60k/year by the time you graduate if you go forward with pharmacy school this fall. The stories about no jobs are true. If you are fortunate to get a job, be prepared for 20-30 hours a week. So like 50k/year. I have friends working at a coffee shop trying to make extra money because they cant afford their loans and only get part time prn hours. Pharmacy is not what it used to be. Pharmacies are going out of business left and right with more and more graduates every year. This is a dying profession. Consider this carefully. I was ignorant when I entered and wish I listened to the stories.
