Hmm, do pharm schools still claim "everyone will have 4-5 job offers at graduation" when students come for their campus visits

Maybe we should get some unemployed JDs to help us out 🙂

The plaintiffs say they were told the employment rate for NYLS alumni 9 months after graduation was between 90 and 95 percent. They say they had no idea that figure included people who were employed in jobs that don't require a law degree, or even a college degree. The percentage of recent graduates who are in jobs that require or prefer a J.D. may even be below 50 percent, they allege.

😱

Will happen to pharmacy eventually.

i think the pharmacy bubble is worse than the law bubble though. the reason is, an attorney can do work for people as clients and such and at least get his own practice going in some way. pharmacists cannot do this, they are stuck waiting and hoping to be hired by everyone else, therefore the pharmacy bubble is drastically worse than the lawschool one.

Does anyone know how the TJLS case and the SFCCI case turned out? The SFCCI will be settled on 8/22 so we won't know about it until then?

Gee ever heard of an independant pharmacy? I think a Pharmacist has a better chance at opening a successful independant than a new Lawyer has at opening a successful independant law firm.

I got that on my email too and i started reading it but i was confused at the whole implications if this thing. Someone can explain to me what are the pros and cons of Consultation Pharmacist being directly employed by nursing homes. Does that mean more jobs? Or different type of job? A new separate specialty in the pharmacy professions?

Sorry for my ignorance!
