So I just started pharmacy school in august and now I'm really having second thoughts about choosing this route. I don't know what to do now.....
Another thing to consider is there is no "perfect job." Every job is going to have things you hate about it. I was strongly considering medicine (still am) and I know I'd like some aspects, but seeing how much paperwork and chart documenting they do was something I knew I probably wouldn't like. I was working with an attending and she had about 50 notes she had to review and co-sign and it was still just the middle of the day. Every field is going to have stuff you don't like doing, that's part of work.
If I could have gotten a 40% refund I would have done that. But I didn't know for sure I didn't want to be in pharmacy anymore that early on. So if you know, do it.Yeah I really can't even focus right now and I have an exam tomorrow.....
So apparently I can get a 40% refund if I withdraw with in the next few days. Should I finish off the semester ir call it quits?
Which is the better thing to do because I want to be respectful to the school
Yeah but I'll get w's on my transcript instead of grades. And as of right now in not doin too bad.
If you drop out you'll regret it.
Lol?If you drop out you'll regret it.
One thing about dropping out too, if you do drop out and later decide to do pharmacy I highly doubt any other pharmacy school is going to admit you. Only drop if you know it's not for you.
I think schools still accept you back even if you drop out because they need that tuition money. I know someone personally that dropped out after 1 semester thinking pharmacy wasn't the right decision. But thought of going back after a semester and emailed they school they said YES! He didn't return though and doing masters instead.
So you see how money hungry these schools are
They just pump out grads like a script pro robot pumps out prescriptions
Pump and dump is all this profession isExactly! That's what he thought n decided not to go back. Schools don't care about their students, I am surprised OP cares about the school and in return the schools only care about the money they can make.
Just curious... why do you say he'll regret dropping out of pharmacy school? It's not that I disagree with you at all; on the contrary, so many of the posters here have told me that it would be a terrible idea to withdraw from anesthesia PA school and attend pharmacy school instead, so I'm just curious to hear why you think continuing with pharm. school would be the best choice for the OP.
Drop out my friend ... It's a womans profession now anyway
It's pretty decent for women, because the part time pay is goodAnd what is that supposed to mean?

P1 here. I am considering medicine as well. My issue is that I'm in a 2+4 program and it's either complete pharmacy school in 4 years or switch to BS Biochem which will take another 3. So I'm going to tough out these 4 years then apply MD, but I'm worrying about the "why not pharmacy?" questions that will come up during the interview. I'll figure out a well thought-out answer between now and then hopefully.
