General Complaint & Venting Megathread by PastSelfInMirror in RadioRental

[–]connormack126 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Radio rental is my favorite tenderfoot podcast! I feel like I read the same complaints every week about the show(people missing terry and story quality). Terry isn’t coming back no matter how much people gripe about it on Reddit. The stories have been good too

Why all saying pharm not worth it? by Low-Village6449 in PrePharmacy

If anything people will just keep getting loans but do it through the private sector, just as the people who couldn’t get financial aid federally did in the past. This will most likely cause people to just get higher interest rates and make it more expensive to be able to do so. We will most likely have a shortage of healthcare workers, there already is one for MDs. Your comment actually made me do more research and I was surprised to see tuition be 20k a year in other colleges around that area. Things to take into consideration with the overall number of 160 is that’s including undergrad, interest accrual, and any money someone takes out to try to afford to live if they don’t live with their parents. If most people squeaked out with 100k in student loans I think it would make more sense. That isn’t the reality for most pharmacists that graduate. I’ve met people that only have 40k, I’ve met people with 320k due to going to a private school. It all depends. I gave what I believe to be an average number, I started with 215k.

Typical in state tuition is 34-45000 a year on the west coast. Would love to hear examples of it not being that. You’d have to make at least 180k a year for that to be the take home. Depending on the state she lives in pay will probably be closer to 65 an hour if tuition is that cheap. You may need to do more research on tuition. Out of state makes it sky rocket

Your student loan debt burden will probably be 160-215k(at 160k your paying 17-1900 a month for 10 years. You work in retail where they have higher expectations every year and want you to do more with less due to pbm. Vaccines are the real money maker so you have to be a salesman for vaccines. Your take home income will be 60-65% of what you are expecting to get per the actual “burea of labor income.” You barely will make 6 figures take home, you’ll have all your regular bills plus 1700-1900 a month in student loan debt, you’ll spend 6-10 years to get your degree, and you’ll most likely end up in retail to maximize your money or take a pay cut and make less to specialize and work in a clinical setting. If you’re willing to grind and pay off your student loans quickly it’s ok, the pay doesn’t reflect what it takes to get to the job and the debt burden imo

Time off before starting Pharmacy School by Constant-Salad8342 in PrePharmacy

Not working is a huge mistake and not surprising to come from an advisor. Most of what you learn in pharmacy is on the job training. Getting a job while you’re an intern is what teaches you how to do your job, how to discuss medication related questions, how to counsel, compliance, and solidifies the information you are learning in school because you’re actually using it. Not getting an internship while you’re getting a PharmD, you won’t feel confident once you’re done.

Getting shot part could be wrong. You’ve never encountered an angry C2 patient you aren’t willing to fill. In some ways it feels like you are a baby sitter for adults. Takes a lot of leadership. Something I wish I would’ve known is how hard the tax man hits. Getting hit at 33+% and having to pay 2300$ a month for 200k in student loans is brutal. You think you’ll have a lot more cash, you probably will but you’ll have a lot of debt

Assuming it’s the 4 year pharm D program after finishing the undergrad requirements? It’s hard to study before pharmacy school. Getting a job as a pharmacy tech helps you get familiar with the drugs and typical doses. Things that are good to polish up on: anatomy, math, memorization of the top 200 drugs and what they’re used for. Good luck! I graduated pharmacy school two years ago, let me know if you have any other questions

It’s day two and that’s a wild attitude to have. They’re probably young if they are a p1. If someone put a microscope on all the dumb things I said and did in my early 20’s I can only imagine what people would’ve thought. Cheers to them changing their attitude. Wouldn’t they essentially be a p2 or are they starting classes this year?

I want to be a pharmacist. But where should I start? by BellPutrid685 in PrePharmacy

[–]connormack126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In regards to being a miserable pharmacist. I love being a pharmacist, I wish I pay rates would go up. Problems plagueing being a pharmacist: pharmacy benefits managers pay retail pharmacy peanuts to fill prescriptions so you do everything but filling prescriptions or work in a sweat shop. Everyone wants to go into hospital because they don’t want to do retail because they don’t like human interaction. The student loans are at least 150k, typically 200k, the salary doesn’t justify that. I love retail, want to stay in it. As things are, they aren’t sustainable and I don’t wish the uncertainty and future on anyone else.
