I will start pharmacy school this August. However, after following this forum I have realized that my chance of getting a job is extremely low and my debt will be >200k. But I am feeling stuck because I can't really switch to any other career especially not engineering since I can't handle Math and Physics well, not computer science or business or finance either because the only area I can study and enjoy is biological sciences, and I am already 25 and have a Bachelor's degree in biology
I can't seem to switch to any other health career such as MD, dentist, PA, nursing, PT, etc because the only experience I have is pharmacy. I volunteered at hospital pharmacy, worked in retail pharmacy for 2 years. I chose pharmacy because I like a career in healthcare (mostly because I enjoy studying human biological sciences) but I am not a fan of direct patient contact. To switch field, I must get LOR's and I can't get any more LOR's because my pharmacists and coworkers all believe pharmacy is what I want to do, unless I start over, take more classes, find a new internship at hospital where I work closely with nurses, MD, etc, which will cost me more time and money. I am now 25, 4 more years of schooling and I will be 29.
Does anyone feel the same? any advice is appreciated!
p/s: Also, can pharmacy schools find out who I am based on my profile on SDN? Can they find out my email address that's linked to my profile?
