I'm from NY man.....parents never around, hung on the streets.... i've seen some of the shadiest stuff ever.... from bricks in TV boxes being sold on the street, you name it.... so when someone tells me I can have all this luxury, and time freedom....etc. by recruiting other people to sell stuff, yeah my antennae go UP! lol...If your product is so amazing and ground breaking, why not just sell it as everything else in this world? thats the question they can never answer.....

Yeah IDK why people fall for this stuff. My FB newsfeed is filled with this spam. It's quite embarrassing to be honest. Working professionals trying to sell their friends crap. One classmate tagged 5 or 6 of their friends and asked if they were ever gonna pay for their orders LoL. Just pickup a per diem or extra shifts.
 
Latest BLS stats are dismal.The job projection is less than zero.There are now about 14500 new grads a year which is about double the
equilibrium replacement rate.Minor increases in hospital and mail order are wiped out by a decreasing retail area. Automation and the inevit
ability of another recession are also threats.Numbers don't lie.The boom of pharmacy schools matched with stagnant demand is a recipe for trouble.
You can't **** with supply and demand.

I do not believe that the pharmacist job market will ever correct itself.

Eventually, robots will take over all pharmacist jobs.

That's what a correction is... Pharmacists won't be needed in the future so jobs and wages are starting to disappear. The correction has just started.
 
. Perhaps some research into the attorney job market may provide insight,They had the same problem.

I see broader social and economic decline (deteriorating infrastructure, more prostitutes on the streets, more homeless camping out in parking lots are examples of local signs) so the plight of pharmacists will be the least of anyone's worries as it currently is anyway.
 
Pharmacy students worry more about their loans than about the job market.

Sounds fun!

Yeah, the only difference is only Harvard Law school is the only Law school with standards. So for Law, the goal is to go to Harvard. If not, do something else.
 
Herr Gott...I JUST walked into a CVS....the bins were FULL......one young Pharmacist babe behind counter..no tech Target had AT least a tech to help......Someone should invent a "pharmaceutical hammer" to thump these people on the noggin..before they make a BIG mistake...
 
How many students are going to pay 6 digit prices for a 5 digit job? Thats the real question.

yes, thats a good point, also, how long will the government keep loaning the 6 figure money only to get back IDR on 5 figure jobs? or worse, to deal with all the defaults that are storming the country as we speak.....how have they not caught on yet? it's like the whole world is in a bubble and thinks pharmacy is still something amazing. Even after you try and explain, they dont listen. I know pharmacists currently working who really dont understand the gravity of our situation.....

Big chains are making their profit on paper through WAGE CUTS. it can only last so long..... something big is coming. Eventually a business owner HAS to make a profit selling the goods/services they are pushing. You cant live off wage cuts forever......now you factor that in with a recession and you have a recipe for disaster.....
