Why do you care?

Just know that there are people who prioritize dating and being in relationship above everything else.

Curiosity is a good thing.

Yeah, I'm certainly not one of them.

1. Eh, if it’s a priority you’ll find time for it.
2. 4th year has a few time intensive months, but is usually not the most demanding year for most people.
3. Late 20s is not an age to panic at if you’re still alone. Many people are waiting until they get their careers started before settling down now.
4. You’ll likely have an easier time finding someone you want while you’re still a student than when you graduate and are working full time. You can always look outside your class. If you’re at a comprehensive health science center, check out students in other programs.

How do people raise families

I knew someone who became an oncology pharmacist raising her kid in school (husband not pharmacist). Superior time management. People do it in med school and that's far more rigorous than pharmacy school

If that's your priority over finding a job first then you could try using all those dating apps. Won't eat up much time unless you actually commit time to someone and go on multiple dates over a short period of time.

Dude - just let the swag show and you will get some bites.

 

[Pharmacy is a Scam]

In my P4 year now, which is supposedly the most demanding year. How do people have time to date and meet people outside of school? Or are most romantic relationships formed in school? I'm in my late twenties and older than most guys in my class, and don't find most of them attractive. Also don't want to date people at school (in case it gets messy. don't want drama at school).

How do people have time to meet others outside? Or is it best to wait it out, and meet someone after getting a job...

Because they think that so long as they pass their classes and “do well in school” they will have a fairytale ending of getting full time job offers upon graduation. Keep in mind that most of these pharmacy students are people who should have no business becoming pharmacists and they have no prior concept of “studying hard,” so they will think that so long as they got good grades in school that will amount to something. Another group of people who tend to become pharmacists are the “pharmacist moms” who tend to also have a very lackadaisical approach to pharmacy school because of “family.” Not that there’s anything wrong with that inherently, but pharmacy historically has a reputation for being a “chill” profession (compared to med school) and many women choose to pursue it because they can “work part time” when they have kids. Well, that might be true in the PAST, but that is no longer the case given the market saturation. Meanwhile, the people who truly understand what the job market is like will be hustling their butts off and “doing all the things” in order to have a chance at landing a job. The dichotomy cannot be more obvious, and one can easily tell where your priorities are as a pharmacy student.
