Maybe we can look at the situation in a different light. More pharmacists will help create larger lobbying power and further develop the role of the pharmacist. With dispensing jobs no longer being the easy jobs, we'll have pharmacists enhancing their competencies through residencies and developing niches for pharmacy practice.
This article really portrays the ideal pharmacy practice (IMO)

It maybe that we need to deal with the shortage before we have enough manpower to move the profession forward?
Please don't flame me for being to optimistic/naive
The thing is we have not seen this in JD/MBA profession. What we have seen from them is a majority of graduates working in 20-40k jobs and a lot of them unemployed with crushing student loans.
