Should I go back and get a masters in accounting? I feel like I want more corruption in my line of work. Being a nurse and mistreating certain patients ain't doing it for me. A little embezzlement wouldn't hurt, right?

It’s the job itself that sucks. It is very boring. Depending on what you get stuck doing, it’s a lot of Excel work. Whatever you think you’ll be doing, scale it back a lot. You, an individual, will not be designing an entire plant by yourself.

28 hr a wk sales job. Niche consumer base. 140k. I’m amazed I make more than the engineers here with less experience, less schooling, less hours worked and more likely much less stress, could I make more? Probably. But I’m not putting in the effort for that.

That's slightly higher than what I started making as a brand-new pharmacist. Now I'm just below $200k 8.5 years later.

What do pharmacists make? Like what's your range? It seems like it's much much more cucked than anything MD. I hear anywhere from 140 to 220 but rarely higher than that.

>> No.57391759

Also, does a pharmacist career ever go anywhere or after 8 years, it's pretty much just that. Like what are pharmacist career options. Realistic ones.

It's definitely not as prestigious as MD but it's very comfy and flexible on hours. I basically sit and browse reddit while my technicians do all the grunt work around me. They're even doing vaccines now. When I finally make it ($3-5 mil NW), I plan to keep on working but only in 12-20 hours per week.
>>57391759
Depends on the setting. But once you go higher up in rank, it becomes less clinical and more business-focused. Salary could go up to $300k+ for a VP at a retail pharmacy or hospital system.

Do you feel rich? Like do you feel like you are upper middle class?

Any idea how much dentists make? Is it more than you?

Pharmacy is surreal somehow. It's this weird "stably good" but also cucked job. Then you are sort of smart, but not really. Not even talking shit, it's just always in its weird category on its own.

Wagie tier. You will be better off doing lab work with your biology degree. It's like 35-50k. Techs can make up to 70k with overtime, etc if you do something stupid like sperm DNA.

>>57391844
lol, no need to be mad. Go study for the pharmacy tech exam instead. It has moles on it. A lot of moles.

That's all of us in healthcare honestly, even doctors. I work a side gig at a hospital and we get consult requests from doctors/nurses constantly. There's knowledge gaps everywhere that leads to friction and wasted time but we all know a shitton more than the general public so shit gets done.
I don't feel rich. But I have a nice house and car, can afford anything I want and still save/invest $8000 per month.
>>57391837
Definitely wagie tier. Techs at my company start at $13.50 an hour. I'm nice and usually start new hires at $15. My most senior tech is at $21.
