I do wonder, has the gravy train passed with CS for those starting?
I'd get a room to live in at the hospital, work there every day for a year, then move to like Montenegro or something and retire forever.
Nah, job market keeps growing especially if everyone is trying to stay modern with new tech. I don't see it stopping any time soon. It will decrease as soon as AI can create very simple parts of the application but it will be small decrease.
Hey, absolutely no issues with what you are saying. And I would do it again, and again.
Pharmacist with no residency and make 140k a year sounds better. Imagine fellowship and residency and then you are in late 30's-40's before you enjoy any of it.
I guess it's making 120-160k at the age of 26 vs. making 500-700k at the age of 32-33. I will pick the later.
I notice people in SDN tend to underplay job security, but overemphasize opportunity cost.

That is probably correct. A lot people envy us (medicine/dentistry/pharmacy). A case of the grass is greener on the other side...
When I was working as Pediatric Intensive Care Pharmacist at a major pediatric transplant center, I made friends with a surgical fellow. A real nice guy, his training AFTER medical school was 10 years. This was after residencies and fellowships, because he wanted to be a pediatric heart transplant surgeon. The crazy part was that, by the time he finished pre-med, med school, residency, fellowship, it would have been 18 years!!!
That doesn't seem like a quick way to get rich. 4 years undergrad, 4 years medical school, 3 years internal med fellowship, then 3 years GI fellowship.
Yes but this can be outsourced also. And that bootcamp s not easy.
Yep, sitting on your @$$ all day trying one’s best to appear to being doing actual work (very questionable what constitutes actual work) with half @$$ skills that ensure any project will be incomplete (always demand for work) because you’re always having to work on some “update” fixing one’s own shoddy work
I briefly considered going that route but decided not to pursue it for this reason. Life on most reservations is pretty shocking.
There are not that many quick ways to get rich. May be a quick way to be financially independent in your early 40
What would those be?
So like all federal and state government workers right 🤣
USPS and UPS are not the same
If I was a freshly minted pharmacist, I’d have probably taken that offer. I was single and had no student loans. Great way to spring board my career and savings.
Free room and board is huge too.
They definitely not looking for freshly minted pharmacist, they wanted 20+ years of experience. AND, I wasn't saying it was the opportunity of a lifetime, just a decent deal. Like I pointed out, not huge money, and that's why I didn't take the job.
Yes, it is, but it wasn't going to be Ritz Carlton type accommodations.
No thanks, is exactly what I said. Not a deal of a lifetime.
Apparently, somebody does, they have staffed that hospital for decades. I see that job coming up, every once in a while, for years. And, you wouldn't want a newbie to be in that position, all by themselves. You pretty much need the years experience.
I agree with you. I’d endure two to three years of servitude.
My friend works as a Director of Pharmacy at a small hospital and pick up shifts at a different one on the weekend. He makes ~280k a year. All under the sunny warm southern California weather.
