Dear pre-pharmacy students,
I was once in your position and would like to offer some words of advice...
Don't go into pharmacy if you're only looking at the $$$!! Seriously with how much it costs for school and all the uncertainty associated with the future of pharmacy..and lack of jobs... I'm not sure it's worth it anymore. Only go into pharmacy if you TRULY LOVE pharmacy and don't care about how much you potentially will (or will not make). I mean seriously with how expensive some schools are and the amount of debt you accrue, you really don't take home that much money. There's much better ways to make 100k or close to it. If I wanted a secure career with a lot of earning potential then I would probably suggest doing something like software engineering over pharmacy.
Just my honest advice!
