Pharmacist is such of a joke of a job. I mean, you put pills in a bottle; that is it. And to top it off; the geek says "you have any questions for the pharmacist". First off what can they answer that google can't? Secondly, if I did ask a question the queer will just read the label or just say " you should be good". A typical 16 year old good do that job yet you need all of this schooling.
Good stuff!!
lol
I was trying to get my wife to go to school for this. Lots of regulations to memorize, and stressful. Lots of school but it's a job that's in demand, 6 figures makes it worth it.
med school isn't as valuable as it once was. depending on what state you come from, opportunities may be limited forcing you to pay out of state tuition costs (>50k/year) putting your med school debt at >200k easy. we might make 6 figures a year but that's with 300k+ in debt and after several years of residency and fellowship training. getting an MD won't make you wealthy. comfortable, but it comes with a price. most likely you'll still be cranking out 40-60hrs a week as an attending doing bullshit documentation, which really isn't what you signed up for. few will live the good life with low work hours and high pay, but again, those are just the few in top subspecialties. the rest of the people, your hospitalists and primary care docs will be grinding for life.
and really
who wants to spend the prime of their life (their 20s) busting their ass 80 hrs a week, working almost all vacations, etc. a lot of people play armchair qb saying they would but they are lazy as fuck. a lot of of ppl say they would be MDs but i've seen ppl drop out of med school and residency. physician suicide is also flying under the radar as well. unless you are one, you don't know what we go through as far as stress.
the trend for physicians is only going to get worse as reimbursement continues to plummet. the debt problem will also worsen as resident salaries haven't been adjusted to inflation for over several decades and tuition for college and graduate schooling will continue to rise at an exponential rate. govt is already cutting medicare funding, which also happens to be the source of income for resident and fellowship training. as reimbursement plummets, docs are already seeing higher volume of pts just to meet the salary they think they deserve, which cuts into their personal life and overall satisfaction.
if you want to grind out cash for a "comfortable" living, sure, go be an MD. but you won't last long in this grind unless you absolutely love doing it.
It's still an easy as pie job, especially for the pay.
Totally. Acquire the Knowledge necessary to cloak oneself as a Moneychanger + Learn to speak the language of the largest Emerging Market this planet has ever seen & ever will see? Somewhere in the neighborhood of 1 Billion consumers anxious for Western Products & Culture?
I don't understand what your objection is....
...unless its due to yeah, there'd be a need to affect "a bit of change" within the Chinese Government (inject a bit of "Chinese Democracy" lol) for Maximum Success of this strategy so, yeah, its a bit dependent upon things beyond one's control unfolding + one goes Full-On Moneychanger and they wind up in The Lake of Fire, "supposedly" anyway but it doesn't necessarily have to be a recipe for Self Serving Greed Based objectives...could be a foundation to do good even. Like to accomplish stuff that'd benefit others.....as odd as that sounds.
I fail to grasp why you're surprised by the choices though.
What'd you expect me to say? Major in Forestry Services with a Minor in Frisbee Golf?
