Hello,
It has been awhile since I have been to this forum. Though, I would like to ask for advice from the forum here. Two years ago, I started pharmacy school and was recently academically dismissed. I look at my loans and realize that I am at 130k in debt and have no idea what to do with my life from here on out. I am a CVS Technician of 8 years and am still currently an intern to the company.
I am scared for my future. I know there are many people who have changed professions but their debt was much lower than 130k to start. I was 2 years into the program until the school finally decides that I am not capable of accomplishing my education there for the pharmD. What do you think though? I currently am applying for the PCAT so I can explore other pharmacy school options but the grades at this pharmacy school is rather depressing and hope someone will take me. Even if a school does take me, is the salary still able to be manageable to have a stable life while paying off the unusual debt for the pharmacist?
Being an "intern" to CVS is not sufficient for me to pay off my loans at the moment now that I am out of school. I am 26 years old that is trying to find the right career for me. I do believe pharmacy is the one path that I truly desire but the excessive amount of loans make me scared and depressed for my future.
What are your thoughts? Thank you.
