really, guys? all i'm trying to do is give someone who will graduate in 2 years a little hope. if i listened to all the posts on here about how the job market for pharmacists is collapsing, i would have taken a "real job" instead of pursuing a post-doc, and i can't imagine being half as happy with the former option.
inevitably, jobs on websites like indeed.com will entail some recruiter postings and some positions for pharmacy technicians. i already posted my search criteria for completion. a little broad? yes. but, even if 3/4 of the jobs posted are crap, it still leaves almost 1,000 positions to be had.
i'll be the first to admit that things are changing... but we don't know how much they are changing or what the job market will look like in 2012. so, yeah, maybe my post was a little premature, but i just feel bad for these guys who should be so excited about their futures in pharmacy and are instead made to feel like they picked the wrong career because they can't walk into a job and name their price anymore.
job hunting has a lot to do with compromise. you may not be able to get the job you want in the location you want, but you should be able to get one or the other. if location is what the op is going for, i just wanted him to see that options exist in or near his desired location, at least for now.
