It all depends on where you live. Different locations have different professions that are doing well. Some areas pharmacy still pays well. MBA, stem degree, etc. Just pick what your passionate about.

If my parents pass away, they will leave everything to me including their house, 401k money and savings. If I could get all that I can retire myself. If pharmacy goes down in flames, I can always buy some cyanide and make some coffee for my parents and I will be ok.

This thread got dark fast

So you are waiting for your parents to die for you to become rich? Sadly interesting

Maybe Elizabeth Warren will legalize polygamy! Yay!

Way to go Ben Parcher!

If you can hack the physical.....The airlines are screaming (trending towards screeching) for pilots...What is beginning to happen in aviation reminds me of the start of the great Pharmacist run-up...so now is the time to hop in...Airline pilots have a mandatory 65 y.o. retirement, and the big wave is hitting that age...

This is distasteful. Your parents work hard to give you education and better future and you’re hoping they die?
Wow.

Oh please, such pearl clutching.

China will hire anybody for their domestic routes. Have pulse and 737 rating? You’re hired!

ITT: several adults discover the concept of dark humor and are immediately offended and/or take it literally.

You can move to West Virginia and become a coal miner.

Must be able to communicate in IAA English. Otherwise, it’s up to the the airline and COREGS in the country.

Also, hacking an old model 737 is like hacking a pre2000 model car. Sure you can, but you need physical access to the avionics system. You can hack a plane like the IRA hacking a car, but you can’t remotely do it unless you’re talking EMP, and then there’s manual reversion.

Almost all failure mode systems like avionics and nuclear (SCADA systems) are architecturally different than other IT systems to be tolerant to failure and other issues. It’s something that has to be taught as the design paradigm is nothing like normal.

Unless you’re a California power company and the Navy uses the wrong control bands...

1) Move to Estonia, commit computer crimes
2) Move to Panama, open up a bar on the beach.
3) Sell house, use equity to buy house in WV. Get a job doing whatever. Or file for disability. It's easy to get. Just get caught doing crazy **** in public 3-4 times. Hire a disability lawyer. Boom, done.

They've cracked down on that. Eric C. Conn is in jail.

Shawn Taylor is still in business.

Going to the mall and throwing cat feces at the mall Santa while reciting bible verses, here i come.

Not based on the CPJE fiasco they’re not. And that is only scratching the surface of the cheating culture that pharmacy school breeds.


Not as efficient as robots they’re not. Most pharmacists aren’t critical thinkers either, they are order-takers.


Don’t get me started on how this profession is a farce and we are all just doctors of looking things up on Lexicomp.


Well I don’t.

Well, you picked the wrong career mate. The profession of pharmacy is not a farce .. the farce is your match for the job. Personally, I enjoy pharmacy practice (and human interaction in general) and I'm happy. Community pharmacists have more autonomy than you think.

Maybe go back to school to be a PA. I could see myself doing a lot of different healthcare jobs, I just think I'm too old to do something like med school.

I have enough student loan debt though that I would probably need my free education.

My wife is a PA. I wouldn’t really recommend it either. Most PAs work in some form of primary care (urgent care, ER, family practice, etc). Those folks complain about the same things retail pharmacists complain about: unreasonable/angry/yelling patients, corporate metrics, inadequate staffing, etc. Saturation is coming quickly there, too. Our state had only one PA school just a few years ago. Now, we have 3 with a 4th in the works.
