well, this is my first post. I have been out of school since the fun loving days of Clinton. at that time there were pharmacist jobs galore and a major shortage of pharmacists available. been working in a hospital all this time. never worked a day of retail.

since I have started, I have seen wages double. yet what I am hearing and reading about here, tuition has also doubled and jobs are scarce.

it there any incentive to become a pharmacist? will the job market improve?

thoughts?

I think its still a good field but its cyclical. Something will happen with these new schools; ex decreased enrollment (decreased availability of loans, state of current profession), mandatory residencies coming up. In 10 years it will be better but it has to get much worse first.

We had a similar problem in the early 30s with a proliferation of schools

Should we turn this into a DSM-V thread?

I worked with a pharmacist who graduated in '58, and I thought he was pretty old. You take the cake!

Hey, that's what happens when there is a lot of traffic! Things can get messy real quick. 😀

I wonder what the proper procedure is for sterilizing a dirty igloo? Certainly can't wash with soap and hot water!

And it’s alright, Ma, I can make it
