1. The cost of pharmacy school is absolutely unjustifiable...I mean for an extra 40K I could have become a an MD and made 3x as much.
2. The majority of teachers in pharmacy school are terrible. My dog could have taught better than some of these degenerates. It really takes a person with a whole lot of educational experience to read off of a slide!
3. Lack of jobs...If you live in the northeast corridor of the country. Good luck finding a decent job and when I say decent, I do not mean retail.
4. The majority of pharmacists are not satisfied with this profession, especially retail pharmacists. Most hospital pharmacists say the job is doable, but they aren't jumping for joy either.
5. Chances are that you will become moderately to severely depressed at some point while in pharmacy school, its just natural due to the useless info they throw down your throat.
6. The whole IPPE idea. Most pharmacists could care less about you and will use the hell out of you. IPPE=pill counting for free for six weeks. Pray that there is a kirby lester at your site and buy an ice bag due to the chance that your rotator cuff might be blown out from all the slave counting you are about to do! If you're lucky your preceptor might take you out to mcdonalds for all the BS work you just did for them.
7. Rotations to me means another year of donating your money to these money hungry pharmacy schools.
8. Pharmacy school will shove the whole clinical **** down your throat. Everyone will be like I am going to do a residency...Well guess what? Do you really think that there is a lot of clinical jobs out there? HELL NO! Chances are after you do your residency you will be just a glorified staff pharmacist anyways.
9. There are too many useless classes in pharmacy school that are there just to fill up the curriculum. Somebody got paid off by putting the D in pharmD and it wasn't your last exam grade. An extra year of schooling is another 40-50K these money hungry pharmacy schools get to make off of you!
10. Having the dean walk in with his brand new Armani suit that he just bought with your tuition money while you just read the latest journal on the "looming joblessness crisis facing pharmacy graduates".
If I missed anything, and I am sure that I have, please add to this list. Maybe we can make it a top 100 list!
