how have you guys/gals come to the conclusion that pharmacy is what you want to do? Ive been a CPht since 2002. Originally started as prepharmacy, switched to psychology, then came back to pharmacy after every pharmacist I met said I would make a great pharmacist. Ive done plenty of community service like holding health seminars at senior homes and such, worked in every pharmacy setting there is. It feels like Ive been in school forever man. I even had to skip a full year of college because financial aid would giv me money. Perhaps I need a therapist? LOL. Sometimes pharmacy is whatI want to do and Im gung ho for it, then Im like on the fence about it.
Being bad at basic math will be hard for you, especially in General Chemistry, where something as simple as PV=nRT solving for one unknown will be a real trial, or even balancing an equation to find empirical formula... If you simply cannot clear that hurdle, maybe you should consider an MFT (Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy) or an MSW (Master's in Social Work) program, bridging your B.A. in Psychology.
TO address your age... It is not a problem. I am 28 this year, and I have undergraduate education in Psychology as well. In fact, in 2004 prior to my enlistment in the Army (Trying to figure out what the hell I need to do with my life), I was all set for an Experimental Psychology-track Ph.D at UC Davis. I broke up with my girlfriend and I decided I needed a change - A big change. And thus the Army. I got out last year and started poking around... Turns out linguistics doesn't really pay that much unless you're willing to be a government drone and live/work in Washington D.C., so my Army training wasn't help to employment. So, I kept looking... And I decided to go with my prior education, and snag a certificate (Which can later become a license) as a California Drug and Alcohol Abuse counselor (CDAC). In my very first semester in that program, I had a pharmacology class and absolutely fell in love with it. I loved mechanics of action, I loved the brief bit of pharmacokinetics we got, I loved it all. I found this forum through a Google search and never looked back...
I was always really bad at math and science, too. The difference was, for me, the only reason I was bad at it was because I ran away from it for so long. I had some strange mental blocks... And once those were cleared, I was on my way.
So, I guess I should say... you need a Plan B. If you're struggling, and I mean STRUGGLING, at basic mathematics like pre-algebra, Calculus I (And II at some schools...) will be impossible. Additionally, there are a lot of things in other science classes, notably Physics, that can't just be memorized. Sure, Biology and even A&P has a ton of memorization... NO doubt. But a good professor will nail you every time you just memorize things (I remember a question on my A&P final regarding the left coronary artery and the circumflex artery, and it flubbed 3/4 of the class because they had just memorized the (R) coronary A. and didn't even bother to check that the (L) was
much shorter and that indeed the circumflex A. was actually where the (R) Coronary A. was on the other side...) so your ability to have something stick by memorizing won't be the best attribute to rely on.
You need to figure out
why you're doing something. You are rushed into this decision because your S.O. wants to go to graduate school. Fair enough, I'm in a bit of a predicament also with my wife's law school plans (Like if she gets accepted to Boston and I didn't even apply to MCPHS this year...) but I know what I am going to do regardless. If she goes to Columbia and I go to UCSF, well, that's 3/4 years we'll be flying back and forth on weekends and spending holidays together... And we're ready to make that determination. It doesn't seem, to me, as an impartial observer on an internet message board, that you and your S.O. are/would be ready to make that choice... Even if you know where you can apply, it doesn't mean your S.O. will be a "good fit" for whatever program she's going into. I had stellar grades from both Stanford and UC Davis and awesome GRE subject/general scores and yet, I was denied by 13 Ph.D programs that I applied to back in 2003/2004. Why? Not because I didn't have the sterling academic record I needed... No, not at all. Because I wasn't a "good fit" - What I wanted to study (The whole point of graduate school in 9 out of 10 programs...) simply wasn't what their grant money was lined up for, and no PoI wanted me.
These are tough issues. You both need to resolve them. You know you want to be a pharmacist. But you also "don't wanna be in school..." forever, I think you said. Well, you seem conflicted. I know "forever" is hyperbole but ~4 years out of the next ~50 years you have on this planet is inconsequential at best
if it's really, really what you want to do.
But my question to you is: Is it really? Would you be willing to sacrifice your relationship (To some extent, distance does strain ANY relationship) in order to pursue this goal of becoming a pharmacist?
- you will really have to consider seriously attending pharmacy school. I honestly suggest shadowing a pharm student and maybe attending a few lectures.
