...lol.

I'm probably going to get an MBA.

Actually, I have a new goal. I want to be the Director at Priapism321's hospital some day just so I can be his boss and make him work nights one week. Then quit the week after.

It's been fun posting gloom and doom and seeing panic stricken pharmacy students here... :laugh:
 
Speaking of MBAs...in the pharmacy world, Z, do you see much of a distinction being made between people with AACSB accredited MBAs and those with run-of-the-mill regionally accredited MBAs?

The cheapest legit school that offers an AACSB-accredited online degree is Western Kentucky U at a tad over $12,000...the cheapest legit regional degree is at Chadron State for about $7000...

But that cheap for a legit degree...nice deal...I'd prolly spring for the AACSB degree...$5000 and a school people have actually heard of....

Academic settings and larger university hospitals usually look for credentials from "name" schools. We have a load of PharmD-MBAs work for us and where they got the MBA was never a question. As long as it's not the University of Phoenix, I think you'll be ok.

Yeah, that's the problem. The great leaders of pharmacy are retiring and we need the current generation to step it up.

hmmm..I wouldn't quite call them "the great leaders" but you're definitely right that there is a huge gap right now and our industry is thirsty for qualified pharmacy leaders. Something that's not taught at pharmacy school and rarely from residencies..

Gasp...we may have to look to military folks.. 😱

Yeah TX is looking good right now, at least until CA can undergo another tax revolution ala howard jarvis and slash all these damn entitlements.

You guys have good mexican food, right? Oh, and I don't want to be the only pacific islander person in the room. That's all I need. I've gotten way too many weird looks from the black people of north philly, you would have thought I had a hula skirt and coconut bra on.

yeah report back

yeah but half the time they're probably just buttering you up so they dont feel so bad hassling you all the time with requests and complaints. at my job, i dont let flirting substitute for rational professional behavior. ie: flirting is nice, but it doesnt mean im going to put up with any additional nonsense
