The two pharmacists that wrote my letters are still unemployed(some per diem 2hrs away) after 6 months , can I give a sympathetic vote for them?

44-50. I'm salaried but also do some float work. I try not to work more than 55 hours/week though.

Use to work like 70-80 hrs weekly when we first opened up the store. We now work 34-40 hrs weekly...🙂

So if you're salaried, do you just have to work how many hours they assign you?

I work about 47 hours a week, but paid for only 42 hours. I come in 30 mins early if I have to open. With the cut in tech hours, I have to stay back late 1-2 hours sometimes to finish up.

Regular position 40 hrs, pick up OT there weekly 10 hrs (which really isn't bad) and retail job 10 hrs a week. I've cut down I used to work 65 to 70 hrs on a pretty regular basis in retail when I first graduated, which was a killer. I'm going to work like this for 1 more year, then most of my student loans will be gone

How do you work 45 hours going to med school at the same time?

I work <45 hours at my salaried job. The extra is at my float position which is very rare these days because I haven't had time to pick up extra hours.

He deferred for a year, I think.

About 45-50 hours at my day job, additional 8 hours every other week when I do my retail moonlighting gig.

Plus I have school two nights a week to keep me busy.

37-42.
havent picked up ot in years because 1. its not offered much anymore, and 2, if it is offered its in some cesspool nobody wants to go to in the first place. and 3, after taxes it aint worth much...

HOLY ISH you guys work a ton!!! (especially the one who works 48 hours a day haha)
How much $$ are you making? If it's not a lot, then I don't have much to look forward to.

you may be interested to know that among healthcare doctorate holders pharmacists work part time more often than any other group. i think.
