Doctors will always be needed. It’s the most rock solid career there is. If America’s economy tanks, you can take your medical degree to a country that’s doing better and make a good living there.

Pharmacists basically only exist because of laws that say doctors and drug manufacturers can’t directly sell drugs like they used to. There is no actual reason they need to exist as a profession that pays more than minimum wage to package and deliver drugs.

Any college students here want to recommend this lost soul a major or career area that's comfy and enjoyable?

I'm an undeclared freshman University student taking a bunch of different classes to figure out what I enjoy.
I did some basic programming back in high school and enjoyed the problem-solving behind it, but I also just finished an advanced class in history (1914-1945) and got a great experience out of it. I have no idea what I want to do but I just want to live a happy, simple life: work a reasonable schedule then come home and play some vidya and not feel drained.

History, Philosophy, Literature, Arts, etc. - Starving artist...
Psychology - possibly lucrative as the new economy causes mass hysteria and social unrest
STEM - That's cool and all but it's oversaturated, AI will soon catch up, and frenzied competition (just think of how many % of people in shitty asian countries study STEM, then convert that into actual numerical figures and realise that they will flock to the job that you'll likely want) makes it essentially dead-end
compsci - also oversaturated and suffers the same problems as above. Perhaps if you specialise you could find work (expect to do a phd to find lucrative employment)
Marketing - total fucking meme just forget about it tbqhfam

I have a pharmacy degree too, but even as a freshman student I knew very well that I would kms if I had to work in pharmacy store, handing out prescription medicine. From my teens I did insane amount
of introspection and soul-searching in order to carve myself a fulfilling and also well paid career.
I self-taught myself programing during high school plus learned the deepest guts of unix systems by assembling Linux From Scratch at age 17. I choose to study pharmacy to be able to do a life-saving drug research, but under condition that I will be handsomely paid for it too.
So how to distinguish myself from the abundant and cheap white-coated labrats in R&D? -During my pharmacy studies I continued to build on my programming skills and did every MOOC on coursera and edx
on that new shiny thing that then 5-6yrs started appearing called "Data Science". Learned a shit-ton of statistics and mathematical modeling. On second year of my studies I found out about newly shaping fields of Pharmacometrics and Quantitative Systems Pharmacology and knew immediatelly this is what Iwant to do. No professor in my country ever heard about such things. Had to learn everything
all by myself.
Fast forward to my graduation, one day after my final state exam I started a at big american pharma as a "mathematical modeler in r&d", working with applied maths PhDs from MIT.

tl;dr: pharmacy student anon self-taught himself programming, statistics, data science and mathematical modeling during any free time left instead of partying. Developed an inbreachable moat and edge against fellow pharmacists and doctors. Be an unicorn, getting a big pharma cushy R&D job with just MSc. on day one and doing cutting edge drug research

I doubt he's made $120k a year in every year that he's been at the VA. They're notorious for paying lower. Though one good thing about pharmacy in general is that most of our wages are regularly steadily increasing. I started at $110k when I graduated and started a floater. Now I'm making $150k as pharmacy manager. My eval is next month and I'll likely get a 3%+ pay increase.

As result you will get disproportionaly valuedfor businessess and you have advantage impenetrable by vanilla graduates who unironically fell for the bait that just paying the tuition and following the outdated and out-of-touch-with-future-business-needs curricula will land them job automagically

Heard a joke recently on the difference between machine learning and AI? Depends on computer labguage in which it is written: if in Python, it's ML, if in Powerpoint, then it is AI. hahaha
In reality, the killer app of ML is image processing/recognition. Scans from CT/MT/Roentgen/histology samples(after applying specific dyes especially). This is where ML beats human in quantity and increasingly also in quality. The bottleneck is not having enough training samples. This is an artificial constraint, because of patient data privacy laws. We simply do not have access to vast databases of annotated medical image scans across national health records out there because of that. And if I was a radiologist, I would lobby for this obstruction as long as possible, because once we get acxess to these medical imaging data for training the neural networks, 95% of radiologists would be obsolete

>> No.12464400

>>12464287
True. I didn't want to write a blogpost, so didn't mention non interventional radiologists.
They will get fucked.
Pathology samples on the other hand will remain safu during our lifetime, since they are quite unique for each patient / dx.
Data privacy depends. I'm eurocuck and unless data doesn't identify a specific person, its not sensitive according to GDPR.

??? 4th year pharmacy student here as well (Ontario, Canada). Pharmacy is shit at the moment and has to make a drastic shift to doing more clinical work in order to survive. Unfortunately, convincing people to pay for clinical work done by their pharmacist is difficult, especially because the nature of pharmacists (and all healthcare professionals) is to be docile and follow instructions.

healthcare portions of STEM are an exchange of your individuality for the skills ("rules") you learn in your program. Nothing is more evident of that then the sad, always lagging behind, outdated healthcare job. Current pharmacy sucks. Current medicine sucks. Current dentistry sucks. They won't get better any time soon, so if you're looking to "win" in a monetary sense, stay away from these careers. At this point, the only people who can rationalize a career in healthcare is those who really want to help people. A high salary is not the norm anymore.

if you are in the US, then don't. Domestic students in other places like Canada will usually have a subsidized tuition (here in Canada it's ~$40K a year for international students but only a quarter of that for domestic after grants and such).

i'm also in pharmacy school. Plenty of prospects for Pharmacists at this point that Canada is still taking in too many international pharmacists since the new grads don't want to live outside of the city. City is always going to be saturated regardless of where you are. I want to live outside of shitty toronto though so i can actually own two cars and not go bankrupt from car insurance.

I will be a huge leech later on as more boomers retire. Long-term care pharmacy is pretty chill with practically zero patient interaction

Why the fuck does it take an hour to get my adderall anyway?

Isn't it just taking the pills out of a big bottle and putting them into a little one?

Pajeet, the Sultan of our local Publix pharmacy didn't seem to want to answer that question. Nor does he enjoy when I inquire as to the availability of random items in the frozen/dairy section which is nearby just to demean his profession.

Another time I chastised the snotty roasties working back there for having a box of Cheez-Its opened on the same counter as they had everyones pills. When they did not curb their insolence, I informed the store manager who I think fired one of them.
