@bulldog1123 didn't you say before that you basically had to outcompete hundreds of other pharmacy students to get that first hospital internship position?
That is exactly the point I've been making -- that it takes (and will take in the future) an excessive amount of effort, hustling, and out-competing other pharmacists to find jobs. And even though I used to say that it would take lots of effort to find a non-BFE job, it looks like even getting a pharmacist job in BFE GA is going to take a lot of hustling. I randomly did a job search on Walgreens' website for pharmacist jobs in GA, and here are the results:
Search our Job Opportunities at WALGREENS
I'm not sure if the link loads correctly, but there are literally only FIVE jobs in the entire state of GA for pharmacists currently posted by Walgreens, and only one of them is in a non-BFE locale. Even more disturbing, I performed the same search for pharmacist jobs in AL, and not a single job listing appeared (just a handful of intern jobs).
Even CVS's job market in GA is similarly saturated, and that's supposedly the worst company to work for in the entire pharmacy profession.
@owlegrad isn't it the other way around? I left pharmacy school because the job market sucked and every objective indicator suggests it will only get worse. Obviously, job search results like the one I performed above reaffirm my decision to leave pharmacy school to have been a good one.
