Job v. School/Grades

Hi all!

I'm going to be attending Pharmacy School in the Fall and we've been highly advised not to get a job due to the new curriculum and how strenuous it's going to be. As someone who has NEVER gone without a steady source of income (I worked all through high school, had 2 jobs in undergrad and have 2 jobs currently) this is uncharted territory.

My mom's pretty set on me making good grades so that I can get scholarships the next year and she thinks a job will get in the way of that. The pharmacies I'm looking at though say they understand we're changing the curriculum so they're willing to be flexible.

I guess...I'm just on the fence. Experience or grades??

Experience unless your grades drop below 3.0

Work, even if its as little as possible.

I was told the same exact thing, but I got a job anyways.
