Was pharmacy worth it? Do I regret it? As you know, I studied and became a pharmacist. But, it wasn't the career for me. Now, I run a business and I'm loving it.

It's really hard to choose what i want my career to be.
Sometimes I want to be a hairstylist, then a nurse, then suddenly a pharmacist, ... My thoughts change so often. It's so annoying 😂
omg me toooo!
Same
I'm currently going through this 🥺😂
Me everyday 😭
saame here
Sometimes I also feel regret of being a pharmacy student... As people around me used to say "Oh, you are a pharmacy student? Maybe you wanted to become a medical student and couldn't make it so now trying out pharmacy right!? " It annoys me a lot because I had never wanted to become a doctor.. & both of the subject are related... But now I can pacify myself by watching this.
Why did you want to become a pharmacist?
Literally ARMY's are everywhere...😉
Omg... It's like that even in my country
@@ThebigGLRams Also in my country
Umaima Sohail That’s somehow true XD
Currently going through a career crises at 18 :( It's not a nice feeling but I know there is more out there
Same aha
Sameeeeeee
Same :(
You have so much time! Enjoy your youth xx everything will work out
Same , what did you end up doing?
hey Just found ya, more pharmacy students should make videos/become youtubers and share their studies! I'm a pharmacy student myself (not a youtuber tho lol) I love seeing students/ pharmacists around the world share their passion about this interesting field!!
haha i totally agree with you...i go over these videos and its interesting seeing how other students are copying
Fresh graduate of Pharmacy here 👋 and still awaits for the licensure exam after how many postponements that had happened due to this pandemic, so glad to have found this vlog during this time when I really don't know if I'm still on the right track ☹️🤔 thankk youu ❤️
This is so insightful for me because my Indian parents also want me to do medicine and I really don’t want to spend 10+ years doing something that I don’t enjoy
What do you plan to do instead? I have a bachelor's in bio but i dont want to go to pharm school anymore 🥺 My parents are going to be so mad
Same. I’m thinking of going for pharmacy or gong for accounting bc i feel I can manage it I’m not sure 🤔
Same I’m confused btw becoming a doctor or pharmacy

Great vid lisa, am 2nd year Pharmacy, mature age. I have Bsci as well previously, I am looking to take Pharmacy into my own business at the end. Regardless the doom people say about Pharmacy industry in aust, I never have regrets. I wonder if things changed if you would consider being an entrepreneur in the industry. We can start a business together! . Lol. No seriously I am doing the degree and intern year to be qualified, then I am outa there on my own path.
I’ve worked in pharmacy for the past 5 years. I got a pharmacy assistant job at the age of 16. They trained me to work behind the counter and now I’m a dispensary technician. This is not the career I’m choosing for myself (as I am currently at uni studying something else) and I found early on that pharmacy wasn’t going to be my career. If you are young and thinking of doing pharmacy see if you can get a job at a local store and actually work in the place. You’ll know straight away whether you want to spend 5 years at university (for not that much pay). You deal with a lot of different people and do a variety of jobs. You have to be willing to work weekends and late nights if you want to earn a decent wage. Some people love it, and others hate it just like any career. I hope that helps some of you!
YES! agreed :) thanks for your input!
how could you do it at 16?
In Australia you can start working as a pharmacy assistant at 16. You complete a short course on selling over the counter medication such as cough medicine and cold and flu tablets.
How many hours do pharmacists work in a week in australia? ( for average pharmacists who are gaining average wages )
I'm currently 21 and have been in the army for just under 3 years. Joined straight after finishing year 12 and to be honest I have hated 95% of it. Too much work politics, your superiors out right verbally abuse you and give you punishments out of spite, it is also a very physically taxing job and you spend a lot of time away from loved ones being called in on your leave and having to go away on exercises. Some people love the sense of adventure and the hands on side, but I found myself very different to the demographic I was surrounded by.
I guess compared to them you could call me the quiet nerdy guy. In high school I performed around average (I went to a decent school, not selective but one of the top non selective ones), I did well for the effort I put in, but of course by the end I only performed average due to apathy and my own immaturity at the time.
I have always been interested in biology, especially natural biology and was looking into uni courses regarding this for when my minimum contract with the army finishes, however I have started to have second thoughts due to the low demand for people in this field.
Since being in defence I have had more interactions than I suppose you could say is usual with the medical system and in the process have been prescribed medications for various temporary illnesses and treatments etc, and I have found myself increasingly interested in how the medications work on the body and have quite enjoyed reading as much as I can about them online to gain a better understanding of what I am using on my body.
A question for you Lisa, or anyone else here who has done pharmacy, would you recommend me to give studying this a go? I would just like a change in my life where I can put my knowledge and intelligence to use doing a job that I have earned by thinking (I am no 99 ATAR genius, but I like to think I have some level of intelligence), not doing pack marches and sweating my way there and one where I am interested in the information I am supposed to retain to be professional at my job. I also of course just want a job where I don't have to travel half way across the country to do, don't get sworn at by supervisors on the daily (of course I understand every job has work politics and friction under stress) and a job where I can leave work at work.
Would going for pharmacy be a move in the right direction or would I be making a silly mistake? (apologies for the drawn out comment).
I'm probably too late, and I'm not someone who graduated pharmacy, I'm just about to finish my first semester and I was about to choose military medicine, my advice is to choose something you like and be realistic at the same time, are you ready to spend god knows how many years with studying so much your head hurts, and you must be precise at your choices, are you interested in any healthcare profession or pharmacy precisely, if you are are interested you are free to ask
@@nanana8928Hi !! Can u tell me plz after pharmacy graduation can i get job or i must pursue master degree or what other jobs can i do with a pharmacy degree
I'm having a career crisis right now and I really don't know what I'm doing with life. There is this huge pressure on me being a high schooler and choosing what I want to do. Thank you for this video
Ken same i am stuck
You are so youn; even when you try something what dosent fit you... you can switch majors. Dont have soo much pressure on you
I’m 15 and I’m scared to become a pharmacist because of all the stress😭 I know I have two more years of highschool ahead of me... but I want to know what I want to do when I “grow up” because I still don’t know😭 I feel like It’s going be so difficult
SAAME i dunno what to do anymore): I think I'll just be a creator youtuber hahah
@@ArtisticYomi exactly!! Like wdf do I do now 😂😂
Why pharmacy is stressful? I mean every job can be stressful. I dont think that pharmacy is especially more stresful than other jobs
I'm in pharmacy school right now : ] also you are so calming and pleasant to listen to. wow great vibes
I'm a Filipino and have Asian parents(obviously...) and yes they don't normally recommend.....They WANT you to do THAT thing....Especially when it comes to medicine courses...
Actually, I was in a conflicting loyality of whether to do pharmacy or not but after listening to you Lisa.., am going for pharmacy and expect no regrets.. thanks
Good luck!
When you said "I'm almost 10 years older than you guys" I was like ayyy you're my age lol and I still am not sure what path to take career wise and it's a pain. I've considered pharmacy but everyone's so negative about the job market.
Same :(
I’m so lost
thanks for the video lisa! met you once serving you as your pharmacist and you're an inspiration! keep it up :)
Dzung Tong yes I remember!!! Will be sure to stop by again!
This Video so inspired for me! I love it!!
There is so much wisdom in this. So much that it isn't necessarily about the courses.
Not what people expect to hear, but NEED to hear.
Kudos to ya
its not super super old honestly, ur right .. 24 comes very very quickly ... this is what i realized when i see today's young kids .. i am like i was like a cow in their age and let me tell u i am 24 myself but at times i feel ohh m so old now and i still cant get out of career dilemma.
Great wisdom as always :)
You’re very mature!
Im going toward the path of becoming a pharmacist since I'm Asian n my mother want me to do that instead of nurse. I may not regret this path because I have to experience and I agree, with experience and experience them was a great process
This was very helpful. Thank you so much.
I’m on my second gap year and I’m unsure of what I want to do. Mainly because, everyone says that this field is saturated.
As a 4th year pharmacy student, I totally regret doing pharmacy. The job market is atrocious and super saturated.
Are u a pharmacy student in australia?
:(
You changed my feelings toward Bpharm when you said everything happens for a reason indeed it does, I have seen it many times.
Hello, I just recently stumbled upon this channel, all I can say is that this is such an insightful video, I applaud you 👏 to see someone that is not only informative but also a great amicable person to students our age .I’m currently a rising junior and believe that your English study guides will be favorable in AP Lang , I intend on applying to universities such as the University of Georgia ,Georgia Tech, and Mercer , all of which are Engineering schools , a career that I aspire to partake in :)
Just came across this video. I'm a pharmacist as well (currently furloughed) and this video resonated with me so much! Thanks!
your video helped me so much ..thank you
I'm currently having a life crisis right now. I really do love working in retail pharmacy as an assistant, but I honestly feel like the employment opportunities for pharmacists are very saturated now. But because of course selections for second year is coming up soon, I am debating if I should start switching to something else? Going to medical school is nearly impossible for me because my brain probably won't be able to even pass the MCAT. I have thought about business, specifically in analytical analyst, but I'm also wondering if that is worth pursuing? I'm just so lost and so unsure of what I want to do anymore.
stick to one ,it might seem hard but keep on ,keep on your life is different from others .the point is keep going
DO PA school or try going intl nursing.
Have you thought about doing medical lab sciences ? Courses are so muvh fun and interesting
Im pharmacy student too:) Great video 👍👍
How is the chemistry involved in pharmacy? Is it too difficult?
@@32방탄소년단 there's lot of chemistry in pharmacy. Specially organic chemistry! If you like that and understand well it would be easy for you to pass your pharmacy exams!
sreelakshmi P I’m good at it in the sense I managed to score 75 on 100 during high school years when we were taught organic chemistry.
@@32방탄소년단 - Pharmacy IS chemistry. You'll learn how to compound medications and which medications shouldn't mix with each other. However, you can always get a tutor if your chemistry skills are rusty.
OutNProud500 can we join skincare or cosmetic industry after having a pharmacy and mba degree?
And btw thanks for replying :)
Lisa is so pretty !!
why are you assuming we're all 18 ???? god you make me feel sooooooooooooooo bad for being 23.
Because most of the people on my channel are students in high school - my channel is based off an Australian curriculum for Year 11s and 12s. Happy to see you've stumbled across this channel though!
Lol same😂😂😂
I’m 26
I honesty can’t decide on going into computer tech or studying to become a pharmacist ( I’m gonna take up a few internships to see how I like it) but all tips and comments are helpful
The video starts at 1:18
There are up and downs. As a recent graduate I would NOT recommend pharmacy (at least in Canada and USA) if you're looking to make money. However if you're passionate go ahead. Pharmacy right now is too saturated, new graduates are being jobs at $35/hrs (in retail) and the amount of jobs that are available are low. In the USA they are planning to allow pharm techs to administer vaccines...like what? Its becoming to a point where you have to beg for a job as a pharmacist in the big hub cities, accept a low pay, or work very few hours while having a side hustle.
The days of being financially independent as pharmacist are gone. I was offered $41 / hr at a pharmacy and I know driving instructors who charge $60 / hr lol
Why do I say this? I'm a recent pharmacy graduate and I regret my career choice.
:(
Are you still in retail now? What did you do instead ?
Thank you 😌
@@MM71017 I started my own business and make more money than I would have as a pharmacist lol. I wish I did a business degree than pharm tbh
@@MusicLegendIX a business like opening a pharmacy? Or you totally gave up on pharma?
@@MM71017 Completely away from pharmacy & healthcare. My goals have always been financial freedom and pharmacy was not looking like that (it was in the past!). I created my own product and have my own business. It's more stress (finding clients, payroll for employees, dealing with customers) but rewards have been much better. You have to reflect on what your goal is. Do you want a standard 9-5 with basic pay? Are you truly passionate about drugs and patient care? Or do you want to make money that is not capped and have room for significant growth.
Halfway through pharmacy course and I’m second-guessing my choice. I didn’t know what to do then, still don’t know what to do now but it’s clear that I’m not passionate about pharmacy. Considering of dropping but I don’t know what other things to do and already halfway. ://
Leeah Elli If you’re already halfway, I’ll advise to just finish but try to avoid retail by networking aggressively Now before you finish.
Can you also elaborate more on the pharmacy saturation?
Yes I'll create a video on this soon! Sorry for the late reply :)
Very helpful content
Insightful video👍
I'm 21 and studying dentistry and I regret it so bad... I should have chosen medecine
hello can i know whyy
I’m currently going to 9th grade and I’ll be starting college classes, so I need to have a general idea of what I want to do and I want to be a pharmacist. I’m 2 grades ahead and I’ll only be 12 taking my first college classes. I’m so nervous. How many years did it take you total to complete pharmacy and to get to work and make money? This can be answered by anyone who is in or was in pharmacy school.
4 years study + 1 year internship (paid) before getting a Pharmacist's salary

@@KasukuMurakami bro i want to suicide cause of it 😭😭
Come to vet school. Your a surgeon, optometrist, and pharmacist amongst other things.
Hi Lisa, what made you not like being a Pharmacist? Is it the work? Customers? Work hours? Instability? I’m thinking of becoming a Pharmacist but am not sure. Your input would be really appreciated 😀
Work hours are great because of the flexibility. It was more the ceiling effect, I could see myself becoming less and less challenged over time (compounded with the fact that I wasn't interested in moving into other Pharmacy industries like Pharmaceutics or government), and so I'd become more and more disengaged.
I'm someone who thrives on my days being filled with challenges and opportunities for growth and learning :)
this is so helpful, thankyou!
What about doing another major in Health Science like a Environmental Health Officer !
Do not do pharmacy unless you truly sure of becoming a pharmacist. Intern before school and intern through school!! The market is saturated but you can control your own economy.
A community pharmacy job can be repetitive and boring.
You hardly get a lunch break...maybe 10 minutes if you are lucky.
Otherwise much easier than becoming a doctor
not as physically demanding as nursing
but u also have to take into account that pharmacy has strict regulations. You must be sharp and in the right mindset always or else a patient can get ill because of your mistake.
Hospital pharmacy jobs are highly competitive
Even to work as an intern...is an amazing opportunity
but work schedule is tough....u see as many as 40 patients a day. A reminder these people are in critical conditions so u have to be on the ball, all the time.
Salary is pretty good and you do get a designated lunch break.
Where will the jobs come from ? The retail is brutal and over saturated . The number of slots for pharmacy schools has doubled in the last 10-15 years, yet more of them continue to open each year. With mergers and acquisitions (CVS + Target, Walgreens + Rite-Aid) and the lack of reimbursements for MTM and NO provider status for Pharmacist ! The big chains have the most hope to get a job in a market with an unemployment crisis. That is how the retail chains take advantage of that and treat us like crap and the brutal long hours on your feet with out a lunch or barley a chance to go to the bathroom pharmacy techs are very few and we have to do a lot of their work since the retail chains want to save money we get very little help and a ton of scripts to fill wile angry customers wait and some are insulting and rude as if we were just some clerk, we are made to dust and do peon labor and do stupid corporate crap non related to what we study so hard for this is alarming and concerning. The growth of pharmacists to be only 3% over the next 10 years. That is roughly 9100 new jobs over the next 10 years. During this time, roughly 150,000 students will have graduated from pharmacy schools and that is assuming no new schools open. THAT IS ALARMING !!!!! $200k+ in loans and no job growth !!
Pharmacy schools are hungry for profit, and to maximize that, some schools will take just about anyone regardless of GPA or PCAT as long as they're willing to sign away $200k+ in loans. THAT IS AN UNEMPLOYMENT CRISIS OF MEGA PROPORTIONS is better to do to PA or NP school more respect and more jobs.
You did such a good job in calculating the number of pharmacists graduating in 10 years. Indeed, there will be 150 000 of them, since 15000 graduate each year. Also, there will be a decline 3% in job market, meaning 9100 jobs will be lost over the next 10 years.
im 12 lmao definitely want to be a pharmacist though
As a pharmacist for more than 10 years, I can tell you it is a good career. Try to get into the hospital and become a clinical pharmacist, or more specifically a paediatric pharmacist, or oncology pharmacist. It's a really good job. As a pharmacist, I am able to have a balanced lifestyle work flexible hours, not too stressful, have time for my family and continuous study.

Holy, you look just like Lana from Smallville
You are a beautiful young lady and good video!
Hi, I am 37 and have decided to study a diploma of cosmetic chemistry as I want to be a product formulator. I wanted to see if the chemistry would be okay for me to do at that level. If I love it I was considering trying to do a formulation degree - would I need a lot of math skill? Am I too old?
I am only in 8th grade and I am going to be a pharmacist and thanks you your a grate person.
May i ask how old r u now?
I want to become a doctor....but somehow now I am studying pharmacy....but my brain is still stuck on be a doctor.....what to do....I really don't understand....
animal lover same here
Become a doctor. Pharmacy is very oversaturated right now and the future isn’t very bright for the profession. There’s so many pharmacists right now with no jobs, or soon to be layed off from jobs.
Me too 😭and it’s killing me

is real medical student can do pharmacy in Second year of medical studies ? (6 year)
I chose science initially (zoology) but got into vet school. I enjoy it, but sometimes I think I should have done a masters and PHD in zoology
For pharmacists/pharmacy students...
What exactly do you hate about he job/degree?
I have a week (yikes) to make final uni choices and I’m not sure if I want to do biomedicine or pharmacy. Any insights would be very very appreciated 😅🥰
bambi 00 I’m in the exact same situation with the same courses. Would love to hear how you get on with your decision.
Julliane Lopez Julliane Lopez
Julliane Lopez
hi ... so I chose pharmacy!!
i completely understand what you’re going through right now. i hate making decisions (I’m a Libra ♎️). so let me help you -
from everything I’ve researched (of corse do your own research i might be wrong):
biomedicine is based on the human body. diseases, diagnostics, treatments.
pharmacy is the study of drugs, everything drug related. how drugs interact with each other and the body.
graduating with a degree in pharmacy will most likely lead you a career as a hospital, industry or as a retail pharmacist. you can be involved in everything from the making of drugs to the dispensing. YOU are a drug expert (basically).
a degree in biomedicine is incredibly broad. to narrow it down the clear pathways I saw were 1) research 2) postgrad medicine 3) become a biomedical scientist. if you choose biomedicine you’d most likely have to go on to do a masters and maybe even a PhD if you want to do research. there are numerous other paths too e.g clinical trials manager or a medical sales rep (again further studies in areas such as business would help).
so, with a degree in biomed you can choose the path you take. two people with this degree could be living completely different lives. with pharmacy MOST people do go down those three areas I mentioned.
someone put it to me this way
-do you want to focus on diagnosing (biomed) or the dispensing if drugs after a diagnosis (pharmacy)
UA-cam channels that really helped me were:
Koreagina A London pharmacist
And Atousa
(they are based in the UK and I’m irish so it’s pretty relevant to me but I’m not sure where you’re from)
personally why i chose pharmacy was i preferred the career prospects better. while as a course i prefer biomedicine (I’ve always loved biology and I wanted to do medicine originally and biomedicine as a course is obviously very similar to medicine just without the clinical aspect). however pharmacy does have a better (starting) salary and a nice work environment. And I liked the idea of working as a locum pharmacist occasionally.
i struggled to pick and i still am not sure if ive made the right choice.
but they are both good degrees :)
bambi 00 I’m from Scotland so not that far away. I think I’m leaning more towards biomedicine as I’ve done some research and came across the growing saturation of the career. Really don’t went to end up having no job after all the student loans etc. But I find them both interesting !
Julliane Lopez Yh i heard about the ‘saturation’ but it was mostly from Americans. The job growth rate for Ireland currently is 6% which is good so that’s why I picked it :)
bimpe 00 good luck with pharmacy ! You will love it . I go to pharmacy school in Ireland
Hi Lisa! This comment is pretty late but I would like to know how much holidays you got at university while studying pharmacy? How many times a year did you get long term breaks?
Hi Tiff, thanks for your question! Typically you'll get a long-term break over the Christmas and mid-year period, but this might depend on factors like placements. Best to directly contact the university/ies you're considering for info on this one! :)
Could you use Pharmacy to get into dentistry?
What program do you take as an undergrad to get into pharmacy?
I didn't, I got in directly :)
i'm 24 years old and i still don't know what to do with my life. but one thing i'm sure of is i regret taking up pharmacy and working as a pharmacist. my parents told me to be a pharmacist. i was never happy since. i tried to look at the bright and fun side of my career but, i just know this isn't what i want to do. i want to change career but i feel like my parents aren't supportive of that. i opened up to them once but i can see disapproval on their faces. i think they think you're only successful on the medical field? idk if this is how asian parents think? hahahaha. now i still continue living my miserable life.
I have asian parents too and am currently in a similar situation...they want me to take pharmacy because it will apparently lead to a "stable career". I appreciate this, but I've never once in my life felt drawn to that degree so I feel like I wouldn't even enjoy studying it. But I dont know what else to do...anyways what I want to say to u is that at the end of the day, it is YOUR LIFE, not your parents, and you should choose to do what makes you happy in life. (I should take my own advice tbh) I understand it's harder because its asian parents...but really, they cant control you because you're an adult now. Good luck
"Stable career" that's the exact words. Hahaha. Good luck to you too!
I’m confused between pharmacy and been a doctor i cant decide what major should i take
Same. My family wants me to being a doctor but i think that pharmacy makes more sense when you consider the work loads and wages
By the way are you from australia?
@Karya @Karya hi, one thing i’m sure about is that i wont be becoming a doctor.
I thought for a while and i’m gonna give computer science a try. i’m still not 100 percent sure but i’m gonna give it a try and see what happens.
Choosing a career is too hard
@Karya no i’m not from Australia u?
@@justbored7691 yeah i am sure about this too :D. Cs is a really good major if you are interested you should choose 👍🏻👍🏻
yess u like and I still don't know what I wanna do.
Im still freshman in pharmacy and I don't know should I quit?! :)
Hi!
I wanted to ask how long it takes for one to transform from a pharmacist to an oncologist or a physician?
Your video is really helpful! But i just want to know something , after 6 years of pharmacy studies do you get a doctorate in pharmacy ? and be recognized as a pharmacist? or you have to do eight years? Because i want to do pharmacy and i don't really understand if it will take me 6 or 8 years to become a pharmacist
In Australia, 4 years pharmacy + 1 year internship = fully fledged pharmacist
Thanks
is pharm d is gud in australia
I meaaaaan you’re cute 🙃
me too girl i'm a senior and idk what to do
Useful

Hi Lisa Tran
Hello Fazer Slicer
Where are you from sis
It's a BS in Pharmacy not a PharmD lol. You have so much more opportunities if you do a PharmD.
Do you have MBA?
I’m 18 rn and am thinking of doing pharmacy but am worried about tuition 😭
Heyyyy check out Eastern Mediterranean University I got accepted in their pharmacy program with a 50% tuition fee waiver for international students 👌I hope it helps you ^^

Can you help me with my question,
The thing is I have a problem with choosing my major. I'm so sure that I want to design drugs (as they said it's called pharmacology) If I want to be a pharmacologist, should I study pharmacy course or major in biology chemistry? in your course what u study? Is ur major leads u to be a pharmacist who worked with drugs, not the pharmacologist who design drugs?
If u could help meto find the answer, I will be so grateful. Thank u. Btw, love ur video.
Hi there, thanks for your comment! Yes, my degree lead me to be a pharmacist who worked with drugs, not the pharmacologist who designs drugs. Different institutions will have different pathways for you to study pharmacology, so I'd recommend you to have a look at the websites of the universities/colleges you're considering or see if you can discuss with a course advisor directly! Hope this helps :)
@@vcestudyguidesonline Thank you so much. Yes this really helps. I'll look into it. Thank you again.

If it feels right and you have done enough research then go for it dude!
can you work at the hospital or any Drug store while having your own "Drug Store Business? " Does it make sense? 😂Plss reply.
Yes, pharmacists can practice independently. This means they can open their own business or work for a corporation.

It's ok, we all go through these career-crises. I hope you find your way soon!
I'm running my own business, Lisa's Study Guides, and working on my startup, EDIE 😊
I am in the same boat. Try to make profit in pharmacy and then do what you like.

Algerian pharmacists 💃💃cool down things are gonna get better and remember to serve and help people ❤
Good for you! What sane person would still want to attend pharmacy school and have $100k's in debt to end up in a dead-end career?
I'll let these news article titles speak for themselves.
"BLS projects 0% growth in pharmacist jobs over the next decade (actually negative) while similar occupations will all grow at a faster than average pace"
Becker's Hospital Review "'We're training our kids for jobs that won't exist"
"HRSA Allied Health Workforce Projections, 2016-2030: Pharmacists. Oversupply projected"
"A Looming Joblessness Crisis for New Pharmacy Graduates "
"Walmart layoff 40% of its pharmacists"
