HuH? 2020 shortage? 😕

According to AACP,
"A shortfall of as many as 157,000 pharmacists is predicted by 2020 according to the findings of a conference sponsored by the Pharmacy Manpower Project, Inc. Complete findings are detailed in the final report, "Professionally Determined Need for Pharmacy Services in 2020.""

So I searched for the year that report was published. GuEsS what year? ....dRuM rOLL...

2002. Yup. GASP 😱 With the current job outlook right now, I don't know what will happen. And it's only a 9 year old publication. What will happen in 2020?

Will there be a shortage in 2020?

We'll barely be inventing fire and developing the wheel again by 2020.

I'm sure that prediction from 2002 was accurate using the models and forecasts that were available at the time. What it couldn't have predicted was the economy tanking while at the same time, a number of new schools opening. You could probably use that article to line the inside of your cat litterbox now. 🙁

Only 8 years after the Earth decides to go schizo on us, you will be lucky to have horses!

I have a dream that the sun will fall upon the earth. I believe the end of the world is coming soon. I am not sure if there is a 2020.

If you mean the 2012 prophecy thing, you have a lot of dreaming years ahead.

At worse, maybe a major (natural) disaster will occur...but how's that anything new these days?

Unfortunately, I think it would be the opposite of a natural disaster that ends the world.

2012 - Scientist finds cure for cancer
2013 - Cure made available to public
2020 - Death due to overpopulation

That would be grim :\ but I could see it happening.. (sorta)
