Hmm...Very few students drop out of Pharm School compared to many of the other professional programs. So you went through the trouble of applying to Pharm School, which takes almost a year b/c of interviews and wait listing, and then dropped out? LoL. Furthermore, you didn't know the average salary of a rookie Pharmacist? You were about to endure a total of 4 years of Pharm school, plus 1500 hours of clerkship, without knowing what Pharms make? Nice to know you were so prepared.

Money = Power

I guess now you're gonna start waving your magic paycheck and say the pharmacists make more than dentists do too so he must be dumb for being a DENTIST......:jerkit:
My goodness. Don't your arms get tired of always patting yourself on the back?
BTW, I'm doing a loan for a buddy of mine whose wife IS a pharmacist and has been for a few years. She's worked for Pfizer and now works for CVS and she STILL doesn't make $100k. She's in the ballpark, but she's also been at it for a few YEARS too. I've seen the paychecks and I've seen the W2's. I've got every piece of personal and financial information they have from 401K to Stocks to plain ole bank accounts. She also has a PHD, BTW, so it's not as if she's lacking some kind of higher degree. She makes great money though. Just not the "guaranteed" $100k you think everybody gets right out of the gate.
I wasn't trying to insult the guy. I was pointing out that it is a stupid move to pull out of a professional program after devoting that much time and effort. Something you apparently you know little about with your pseudo degree. BTW, have that lady give me call, b/c apparently she's made some bad career moves. Having a dual degree, Pharm D and PhD, should easily put her in 6 figures. I don't know what she did for Pfizer, but there are plenty of avenues to take within research. You keep commenting about a field you know little about b/c you've seen some financial info on your customer. Not a great way to guage what the rest of the Pharm field is bringing home. If she made the right career moves she should be in the 6 figure range, unless she made some other choices while in the field that may detract her from earning more like getting married and raising a family. Also, she was probably better off going with a MBA to perhaps manage a large chain of pharms etc. What was she bringing in salary wise? I wonder if she was moonlighting anywhere to bump the salary?He's a dentist you nimrod.

In his case it doesn't seem like such a "stupid move" if he went on to bigger and better things, now does it?

Yeah, right. I'm going to tell somebody that is ALREADY a Pharmacists, working AS a Pharmacist, with a PHD, that YOU....a student TRYING to be a Pharmacist is going to "enlighten" her as to how YOU are smarter than HER about a career path she already HAS and you HAVEN'T.... :jerkit:
Dilusions of granduoso again?????
No asswipe, you need to refer to my post just above where I CLEARLY explained why I disagreed with you. You don't want to buy into it, great. I don't give a rat's ass if you do or don't. I honestly don't.You keep commenting about a field you know little about b/c you've seen some financial info on your customer. Not a great way to guage what the rest of the Pharm field is bringing home.
But you can keep spouting out crap you know nothing about first hand, and argue with logic, and argue with numbers, and argue with others that say the exact same thing I do, and argue with people who ARE already in the business YOU wish to be in, and argue until you are smart and I'm young.....but it won't change the fact that what I said since the beginning is true:
1. There are NO "guarantees" on money for someone starting out. Only a range of possibilities.
2. Ask 10 people about any given profession and you will get 10 different answers as to what they make. Therefore, very little emphasis should be placed on the "numbers" alone. A career/education path should be chosen using a variety of reasons because money alone will get you nothing but dissapointment.
3. There is no way to prove the accuracy of numbers because the source is skewed. See #2 above or even this very thread to see how varied the "numbers" are and how varied the sources and how varied the proof. So therefore, ANYBODY can put out any number they'd like and technically be right because there is no way to prove them wrong. As long as they find 1 person making $100k, they could technically publish that $100k is the salary of that profession. When in reality, they should have a caveat that says it's a POSSIBILITY and not necessarily a "given".
If she made the right career moves she should be in the 6 figure range, unless she made some other choices while in the field that may detract her from earning more like getting married and raising a family. Also, she was probably better off going with a MBA to perhaps manage a large chain of pharms etc. What was she bringing in salary wise? I wonder if she was moonlighting anywhere to bump the salary?
I asked her the question directly: "Did you make $100k when you started?" Her answer was a clear and resounding "NO".
She's got a PHD and you have squat. She's a Pharmacist and you're not. She's been working in her field for a few years already and you haven't barely begun. I have her paycheck stub sitting in front of me, and she makes great money just not the "guaranteed" $100K you profess.
So now suddenly SHE's the exception to your rule, SHE made some kind of mistake, yada yada yada :jerkit: .
I dropped out bc the degree would become useless for me...Hmm...Very few students drop out of Pharm School compared to many of the other professional programs.

Nice to know you were so prepared.Why waste another year of student loan for something that would collect dusts inside my file cabinet? I was very well prepared, thats why I used it as a stepping stone.
As for the salary...I dont believe half of what they posted..Salaries are based on demand and supplies. 2-4 yrs down the road, there could be twice as much recent graduates applying for the same position that is available as of today. However, I am sure the Board of Pharmacy and School of Pharmacy are intelligent enough to NOT flood the market with pharmacists.
Oh by the way, Organic Chemistry kicked my ass so did Pharmacology.
^^^^^^Dang, yet ANOTHER person, this time a REAL BONAFIDE DOCTOR, saying that published "numbers" are retarded.
HMMMMMM, be careful Godzilla.....farm boy is gonna try and tell you that YOU don't know anything because you disagree with his "guaranteed" salary idea he keeps banking on....after all.....you're "only" a DOCTOR yourself which in his world means you don't know anything about any other subject.....
O. Chem is a weeder course. Well, the Pharm Board within each state or the Pharm Schools really don't care at this point whether the market gets flooded. New Pharm Schools are popping up every sememster to meet the demands. The hardest part I think is finding the faculty to teach at the schools. I'm PS 3 and my networking over the years has paid off, and will pay off in the next year. I just get annoyed when the dropouts that could not hack college start to blast those who realize the importance of an education. I can name one such idiot that will be providing home loans for the next 20 years...LoL. To each his own.I dropped out bc the degree would become useless for me...
