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.
