I was gonna say, why do you keep making threads asking what a job means then never responding?

I certainly wouldn't consider it a dead-end job. There are many opportunities for an informatics pharmacist out there, but It is a divergent path from the clinical one. There are many roles available at the analyst level. Some common ones are supporting inpatient pharmacy, outpatient pharmacy...

Pharmacy is funny because it tends to attract neurotic people who fixate on rules, then throws them into an absolutely chaotic pressure cooker until they snap.

At that point I'd just find a weight loss clinic an get an Rx for compounded semaglutide + B vitamins. Pretty sure you'll save money if you shop around.

I will be supplanted by a chatbot as soon as June 2024.

Let's open a sub-thread to nail down and refine the language and terms for this proposal, then once the approval committees sign off we can continue here.

Yeah, listen to this person. If you have a specific field in medicine that you want to work in, go to med school/PA school/NP school and specialize in that field. There are pharmacist positions that specialize in just about everything, but most of them are very limited and I would never start my...

Hell, I was already married when I started pharmacy school. I spent a lot of time studying, but I still had people over for parties and enjoyed my life. It was more stressful than undergrad, but it wasn't like I threw my 20's away. It's not like I was going to be doing anything better anyway.

A lot of hospitals start their employees in that range too.

I might have felt this way in the past, but I am definitely at a point in my career where I value my time away from work more than a little bit of extra money. A quiet moment of serenity is worth more than an extra $1000 to me. This is also why I finally stopped selling my PTO.

To your first point, that situation may cycle back over the next decade. If we ever get that big recession and have even more layoffs in tech, forced return to office, etc. while pharmacy experiences a labor shortage it may start looking pretty attractive again. There's a decent number of people...

Yeah, but Biden gave his brother a loan when he wasn't in office.

I have an electric self-propelled mower and can confirm it's a solid purchase. Never worry about gas, oil, sparkplugs. Just plug the batteries in after use and it's ready to go when you need it. I would assume the riding mowers are pretty decent too, but I would expect to pay a high premium over...

If this were Reddit, Dred Pirate would now delete the OP and lock the thread.

Time was you had to go to Alaska for those kind of numbers! 200k is on the high end of what I've seen, but maybe the Bay is paying 300k now? @confettiflyer care to comment?
