You live in NY dude. Most pharmacy students and even RPh's down south would give you a funny look when you say Rutgers or Ernest Mario.
Ok, I live in South Dakota. The jig is up. North Dakota still mandates that 50% of pharmacies are privately owned. I'm making plans for independent ownership in my 10-year future. I worked for an independent for a year in rural Nebraska; it was very very successful.
Has anyone here heard of Wall Drug in Wall, SD? It's probably the most successful pharmacy in the whole state.
My pharmacy education will cost me ~$50K. I'm not too worried. I've worked on farms, construction, confinements, restaurants, as a tutor, everything. If I can't find a job, I'll make something happen.
I could probably build my own pharmacy with my construction experience.
Rutgers is a great school, no doubt about it. Don't go too hard on the guy though....Rutgers does have a few "typical diploma mill" characteristics (0-6 program, huge class size) that could throw off someone who hadn't really heard of the school before.
i know for a fact the numbers exceeded 200 and were closer to 300 (at graduation time) with actual numbers of students enrolled in their curriculumn exceeding 300.
last i checked my class was at 170 + incoming transfers. but yes, you know better than me.
Doesn't New Mexico have fairly high crime and murder rates, or did the guy who told me that not know what the **** he was talking about?
Speaking of diploma mills... disgusting.

Notre Dame breaks ground on new School of Pharmacy 25,000-square-foot building will allow school to expand to 300 students
The College of Notre Dame broke ground on a 25,000-square-foot building to house its new School of Pharmacy on Friday, a project that will allow the school to expand from 70 to 300 students. Notre Dame opened the school last fall in response to studies that showed an underserved demand for pharmacy education in Maryland. The co-educational college, the first of its kind on a traditionally all-women's campus, chose its initial class of 70 from 500 applicants but has received 950 applications for the 70 spots in next year's class. Construction on the $13 million project is expected to be complete by summer 2011. U.S. Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin, who helped secure federal money for the project, said the expanded school will "help close a gap that could seriously affect our nation's delivery of health care services." [email protected]
Crime rates are pretty high in ABQ
Golly, i guess the site visit from the accreditation council 2 years ago that sited a major problem of massive class number and lack of labs with a number of classes made them start requiring the PCAT and more strict requirements to continue on to professional years......

And that's why I prefer BBQ!
*rimshot*
Is it just in Albuquerque, or is it also a problem in Santa Fe and other cities in New Mexico?
Not sure about Santa Fe, but if there is anything I have learned by living in a border state, it is that the crime rate increases as you get closer to the border.
how to win when the pharmacy job market gets tough

Rutgers in NJ graduates almost 300 pharmacists a year. I would call that a diploma mill. Most schools graduate 80-125. Rutgers is graduating around 3x as many. There is also supposed to be another pharmacy school in NJ opening in north NJ.
You have no idea what your talking about, Ernest Mario SOP is probably one of the toughest programs to get into, your reasoning of would also label USP as a diploma mill too as it pumps out more than, if not close to Rutgers class size.
Farleigh Dickinson on the other hand...
Living in multiple places of New Mexico. I must ask WTF are you guys talking about. Crime rate in Albuquerque is no worse then any city of similar size. New Mexico is a great place to live. I have never felt unsafe even in the south valley of albuquerque.And that's why I prefer BBQ!

Go for it .Shall I post a picture of the alfalfa field I live by? I seriously live by an alfalfa field.
http://www.morganquitno.com/cit07pop.htm#25Nobody said ABQ sucked or anything. I loved it when I visited, but it DOES have high crime rates...If I wasn't on my phone, I could post a link that shows ABQ crime rates in relation to other major cities. You might be surprised...and yes, the closer you get to the southern border, the more crime there is. That is why Tucson is rated a 1 in crime. This means that Tucson has more crime than 99% of major cities.

I don't know anything about NY/NJ haha
Spoken by someone who obviously hasn't visited New Jersey (other than, maybe, the area surrounding Newark airport). South Jersey is very nice...NJ "the oil and petrol refinery state"
Eh, my first impression of New Jersey when I flew in to look for an apartment was that it is old, rundown and depressing. And no one knows how to take care of their lawn. Then I went further southeast, and saw that in fact there are nice places, and even very, very nice areas in this state. Though the only properties with properly manicured lawns are the multi-million dollar villas. And I still can't get over the fact that really nice neighborhoods can be bordering directly with really, really ugly ones. There are supposed to be some miles between the two, otherwise it just defeats the purpose...It was actually a line from the movie Miss Congeniality.
I've been to more than one area in Jersey. It isn't as bad as everyone thinks
I just thought I would note something here: my sister graduated from a very reputable teaching school here in the Midwest. 10% of her graduating class found work; she was one of the fortunate few. Teaching is generally viewed as a pretty secure profession. I would venture to guess pharmacy, at its current state, is probably in better shape OVERALL.
Now, don't be so obviously envious of the fact that I don't have to get out of my car in rain/snow/frigid cold just to put gas in it, AND I still pay less than you for it.New Jersey
"Our citizens are too stupid to trust with pumping their own gas."
And that's only 10000000th or so time I hear that joke, including the few times I said it myself.Jersey sucks so bad, people actually pay to leave the state

Come on, how many states do you know where you are never more than an hour away from a major airport? And many other nice things to boot.

Do you really want to live an hour away from an airport?
$2.51-2.55 around here today. What's your area's average?According to Gasbuddy.com, you pay 10 cents more for it.

While we're talking about economically abusive monopolies, why not Jane Doe NP? or Jane Doe PA? John Doe CRNA?Why don't we tell our patients that they can go to Dr. X and be seen in 15 minutes and it will cost $10 even if they don't have insurance?
I have an Opium Poppy field right across the street from where I live...Shall I post a picture of the alfalfa field I live by? I seriously live by an alfalfa field.
