As a pharmacist I can say that this profession doesn't make sense anymore. Depending on location you are a weird combination of a shop assistant , clerk and client's henchman. There are some people that like it but it is a minority. Usually authorities all around the world avoid paying even a cent for pharmacist's services so they are making a living from margin of selled goods and are able to keep their heads above the water level only through artfificial legislation. Outside of pharmacy you are worth close to zero with your knowledge. Employers know this and abuse it. And All these oportunities of after pharmacy it is utter joke. Would anybody stay in such a miserable work setup as retail pharmacy with all those existing in reality not made up? Would there be saturation even in retail? The answer is very simple.

Yes, pharmacy is extremely saturated due to too many schools opening. This has caused many problems in the profession. I urge students to consider MD/DO school, nursing, PA, optometry or physical therapy. There are so many great options. Please do your research before pursuing the pharmacy field so you are not blind sighted by the reality of the job market for pharmacists.

@@ladygeena81 Yea. I really do see myself being an Optometrist but I did the math. 4 years of tuition, board exams, living expenses, and insurance. It will cost me 240-250k at the end. My parents said they will try to help me to pay half of it but I don't want them to touch their retirement money. I will probably go to PA school since that is way cheaper to go to. But of course, it's a popular job so it might become saturated in the future....

This idea that you will just be able to waltz into industry, academia, or even a clinical position is incredibly shortsighted. You have to work for what you want. Doing a fellowship sets you up to be an MSL (read salesman) and residencies now give you a basement job in the hospital. Go talk to pharmacists about the realities of our profession, not a bunch of P3s. It’s rough out here, accept reality and start working to fix it. Network network network. Go find a job in a pharmacy that will lead to a job after graduation. Stop telling yourselves that everything is going to be okay because it’s not unless you take steps to secure your future now. Oh, and the money you borrow in student loans to supplement your lifestyle is real money. Don’t borrow more than you need so you can take your time finding a job that is right for you when you get out.

A big pro of pursuing pharmacy for me was the flexibility of your schedule. Do you think that flexibility has been lost due to saturation?
@ladygeena814 жыл бұрын
I don't know what setting you wanna pursue. With that being said, pharmacy has pretty irregular hours. I worked in different settings and only a small handful of jobs have regular hours. The employers know that the market is in their favor due to situation. I don't forsee much flexibility. Employers know it it is a bad market and they don't care about your work life balance or schedule when you are one of many.

sorry you guys are in denial. you are literally regurgitating the things the pharm school is telling you. its in their best interest to keep you in school, you are their cash cow. as a pharmacist graduated 6 yrs ago, yes it is saturated and no there are not jobs. very few pgy1/2 spots per grad. maybe 15% will get one.

at the very least i think pharmacy is getting saturated faster than other professions. Companies like walmart said theyre cutting off 40% of their pharmacists and Amazon is looking to move into the pharmacy market now to lower pharmacists salaries. I think there will always be a need for pharmacists because no one else can do what they do but there are just too many right now
