Um, I think this thread was talking about insight into the pharmacy market, not pharmaceutical knowledge. Perhaps I misunderstood and that's why I was confused.
This is how I read it too. And I will say that I have classmates who are in their FINAL year FINAL rotation of pharmacy school and lack one iota of insight into the job market. Just finished rotating with one particularly clueless lad who has:
1) never worked in a pharmacy for pay, ever
2) performed marginally to poorly on rotations
3) wants to initially license in another state but has not looked into what is required in terms of intern hours, etc
4) started applying for jobs two weeks ago but has zero interview invites
I have NO DOUBT that there are techs (probably prepharms) who have a TON more insight than this guy. And are probably better at working with patients.
