Are there any other pros and/or cons that you guys would add to the list?
I have a question
I am in middle School and I'm thinking of being a retail pharmacist and I was wondering do you think it's worth going to school all those years
Here in Sudan we have a huge gender gab
The females are most
I have a question i am confused whether to go to pharmacy or biomedical engineer
Any help i really need help
@@layalharb2472 me too
@@crazy_cake6511 Currently retail pharmacy is a meatgrinder. Most retail pharmacists regret their job choice. You should try to get a job in a retail pharmacy when you turn 18 to see if you like it.
I graduated in 1990 when pharmacy school was 2 years of pre-pharmacy and 4 years of pharmacy school for a total of 6 years. Now schools are so competitive that most applicants have a 4-year undergrad, then 4 years of pharmacy school and 1 year of residency and perhaps a 1 year fellowship. That is 10 years of school, you might has well be a medical doctor.
I'm in pharmacy school right now in a 6 year program, they still exist. It is getting more competitive for residencies and jobs, though
It’s still a 6 year program

Soooo informative and inspiring. I’ve had a hard time committing to this career as a student, even though I do love it, but you’ve brought so much light to it’s potential. Thank you!
Ahhhh that’s so amazing. This is what I share this info for! The degree doesn’t define you, you can literally do SO much with it and at the end of the day you have a doctorate. All about how you tell your story and go after what you want!
Such a great video! I have a PhD and I am a science writer as well with a focus on writing marketing content for life and health sciences. Loved hearing that you write regulatory documents. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the feedback! Amazing to see other professionals in scientific writing as well :)
Although there are a ton of negative comments about being a pharmacist, I still love being a pharmacist. Thank you for your video, bring a lot positive vibes to this career.
thank you for your comment and so happy you're happy being a pharmacist!! i wouldnt change anything either :)
I have recently come across your channel and I love watching your videos. They’re so informative and it’s motivating me a lot! I’m just finishing up my undergrad and will start applying to pharmacy schools soon.
thank you so much for this note. it makes me so happy to hear -- i really hope my content is helpful!! congratulations on graduating soon and applying to pharmacy school -- good luck!!
Thank you for always bringing so much value! As always very helpful 😊
Super glad it’s helpful!!!
I’m 13 and I’ve always dreamed of working in the medical field.I’ve done lots of research and I would really like to have this job!! I just got requested for bio advanced for high school and I can’t wait. 😀
Dont forget to request for chemistry it is very important!! And math too
@@Rhea-khayat with our school Chem goes along with science and math is already one of our core classes 👍
I love this, this was so helpful!!! I am looking into becoming a pharmacist but I was afraid because of Job saturation, but I think I am going to do it!!

that was inspiring for me as a pharmacy student
after med schools every student is left with debts, how would you prevent having a huge amount in debts and how do you guys deal with these?
There are also divisions like

I have been a Pharmacist for 26 yrs . Please Do not listen to this Lady ,do your own research ,Pharmacy is not the profession that it was 10 or 20 yrs ago . In Retrospect, I would never do Pharmacy and I told My children Not to peruse Pharmacy . The insurances most often under pay for the medication that you would dispense and if you work for retailers they treat you like a slave plus there are already so many Pharmacist out there without a job .
How about if you have a Master's degree?
@@ahmedmamduh9197 A retail chain pharmacy could not care less about your master's degree.
@Lokie-cd2hw I didn't mention retail pharmacies, I definitely don't want to work there. What I'm asking is is if you have a Master's degree, would you still be considered just as average as someone who just has a pharmacy degree. I'd like to join industry just btw
@@ahmedmamduh9197 Perhaps a master's degree in public policy with a concentration in medical regulatory affairs.
I’ve been a pharmacist for 40 years. It’s changed a lot. Used to be you could work just about anywhere with little effort. I’ve worked in large university based hospitals ( right out of school) then many years in retail, long term care facility (nursing home), IV admixture, and finally research ( setting up clinical drug trials).
You can’t do that anymore. Everything is highly specialized and hospitals won’t even consider you without significant experience or a residency. It’s very discouraging. I’m just glad I did it when I did ( 40 years ago).
I went to a pharmacy school at a large public university back when state universities where heavily subsidized with state a federal money. My tuition was $750 per semester ( not per credit hour). I finished with $6k in debt which I paid off in 5 years.
I would definitely think twice about a career in pharmacy in today’s environment. Better off going to medical school or pursuing a PhD in pharmacology or physical sciences.
Pharmacists and pharmacist techs have very important jobs and they help a lot of people.
thank you for your informative videos! keep it up :)
You’re welcome! Thanks for the feedback 🙏🏽
what are some extracurriculars that you recommend for this career path? please i really am so clueless :((
Volunteering at a local hospital
Hey I am a Sophomore undergrad student approaching pharmacy school in a 6 year program. How was the adjustment from perquisites to actual pharmacy school. Any help would be really appreciated!
I want to be an industrial pharmacist because is includes many things I'm passionate about ie chemistry/science and the state I live in has a high pay for pharmacist and a good school so I don't have to leave the state
I wondered can a newly graduated m.pharm get a desk job or get into academics without experience ? I want to start pharmacy but i doubt it because i dont want to become a community pharmacist . I like to become a professor and more into research . Is that possible without experience ? Thank u
Great video. I loved it.
I’d like make you a question.
I graduated from pharmacy out of the US. What do you think is better, take the equivalency test or enrolled again for a Pharma D ?
Thanks.
I'd highly suggest to try and do the equivalency test if possible. Pharmacy school in general is supposed to get a student equipped to pass the NAPLEX and the associated law exam. In addition, being a foreign graduate you will also have to pass the English language test (TOEFL). If you can do so with the education you have already obtained then you will save a lot of time and $. You can refer to the specific state board of pharmacy website in which you plan to reside to get the full eligibility and requirements information.
Keep up the great work. Ive been in the game for over 10 years and have done both Retail and Clinical. At times you need to get your feet wet to truly realize which specialty is a better fit for you.
What was the better fit for you?
Which one did you like more?
retail is my fave (clock in clock out) like going to a hospital to learn
New Subscriber and PharmD Thank You for this channel
welcome!! you're welcome :)
Is there a video where you tell your path to regulatory affairs? Networking, organizations, fellowship...etc.
Did you ever doubt wanting to do pharmacy? I’m in my first year undergrad and I’ve wanted to do pharmacy for so long, but I’ve been struggling with some prerequisite classes. I keep doubting if I want to do pharmacy now. I think about if I’m struggling now, am I going to be able to handle the pharmacy school curriculum. What do you think honestly? I’m just not sure anymore
this is a fantastic question. i did question it a few times. two things:
1) i would recommend not stopping due to the difficulty of the classes. i think that is overcome-able and just really focus and put everything else aside. it'll 100% be worth it. 4th year is usually the most challenging year and that's what I did. I just studied, quit all my extracurriculars (even dancing :( ) and it paid off
2) there's a lot to unpack within the answer of this question so i'll make a video in response to this. keep on the lookout for it :)
Im in 2 year and I've felt the same way as you. But then comes the fun, after all that fundamental clases!
I'm in the exact same boat as you 🥺🙏
@@nataliad4152 agreed! and more fun after graduation in my opinion :)
i honestly feel like pharmacy school is easier than undergrad. quite a few of my classmates feel the same way. i think that is because we worked part time or even a full-time job undergrad. but most of us only work once a week during pharmacy school as an intern, so we can focus on the curriculums.
Tuition and time isn’t an issue for me. I’m Canadian and have the luxury of living at my parents with nothing else I can do with my life. So 6 years of school or continue working minimum wage. I can’t create a company or a biz I have no skills.
I'm not sure what you're going for here, but you 1000% you have skills and/or can gain skills online extremely easily in our day and age. I've done this myself -- don't cut yourself short of opportunities as there are many out there!!
This is such a great video! thank you!
I'm planning on moving to the US when I finish my schooling here in France. Given that I'm gonna be an international student, d o you think I'd still be able to "make it"? I understand that it's gonna be highly competitive but is it still possible in your opinion? I'd work anywhere, literally! 😂
@Henry Zuniga Hernandez Thank you!

@@jessicanicoleferr wow thank you, Jessica that's so sweet! are you in pharmacy btw?

my plan is to become a pharmacist but always worried that I'm not to great with math its not my strong point I have a good memorie and a easy time learning chemistry but math is where I fall short aloth I'm in the 11th grade doing algebra 2 and worried that I wouldn't be able to keep my Gpa high enough to get into pharm school
Me and chemistry are like water and oil. I might as well learn to coexist together.
Don’t worry about it, all you have to do is get through calculus 1 and your good. For the prequistes at least
As a current RN who want to become a hospital pharmacist, I am encouraged
Is being a RN hard? People say nurses don't have time for a social life and other things, is that true? How is that possible if nurses only work for 3 days? I want to be able to work for 3 days and pursue other things on the rest of the days, is that not possible? Please let me know, it would be really helpful for me, thank you.
SAME I am an RN ready for a switch soon too
Hey I know I'm a bit late but I hope you reply this
I just finished high school and I want to know where to study pharmacy is it in the UK or in the US
I want to also know if physics is a major course
Physics isn't a major course -- I had to take one physics course in my first two years (out of my 6-year program). I think where you go to school should reflect where you'd like to live and work in the future -- both the UK and US are great options (I'm of course more well-versed in the US).
I've heard a lot about magic mushrooms, DMT, LSD but can't find a place to get them, I've got terrible depression and anxiety

Hello! Great video! :) Currently I'm working in pharmacovigilance but I would like to switch to Regulatory Affairs. Would you recommend any affordable courses? :)
RAPS is a great regulatory program!!
its my first year in pharmacy school, could you tell me more about MTM? I want to start a family is there a job that I could work remotely?
MTM in retail is a joke. The compensation for it does not justify the time it takes and corporate does not give you enough time to do it properly as you are always grossly understaffed. A lot of it is more for the benefit of the insurance company rather than the patient. I can't do MTM properly if I'm stuck at the register and drive-thru and having to do a million ingratiating chit chat calls to see if Johnny's ear ache is better.

Hi Doc, Im studying a Pharma Tech right now, and Im planning to get an Associate's degree of pharmacy. What tips will you give me and are they going to credit my subjects in pharma tech when I enroll in associate's degree ?
I don't believe pharmacy tech classes are counted, but I could be totally off here. I think depending on the institution/program they may allow it, but you'll have to look into specifics. Congrats tho!
Hi I'm taking IB diploma and my subject combination are HL: math, chemistry, english B SL: economics, korean A, biology. With these combination will I be still able to take pharmacy degree in the university?
Yes for sure! Although I will warn you - don’t expect to get credit for anything in pharmacy school because most pharmacy schools have a rule that they have to teach everything at their university. I did AP and was only able to transfer my math credits due to this but it’s still worth it!!!

Pharmacist's salaries are coming down or have been stagnant for over a decade. There is no pay gap. If you can't get your degree for less than $85K of student loans then it isn't worth it.
Are you sure that it costs so much? Which country are you from? I only pay 270 Euros for one semester. You cant be serious with 85000 dollars for school???? If this is true, this is insane, this would buy me a half of a house here.

Hay quá
whats the difference between NAPLEX and PCAT?
PCAT is the test you take to get into pharmacy school. It’s not required by most schools if u attended the 4 years of undergrad. NAPLEX is the board exam you take to get your pharmacist license
respect your take; still think its absolutely not worth it
Pros: money
Cons: education needed
No..... Short answer is no it is not. A majority of jobs for pharmacists is in the retail sector and they are litterally dying. This job will kill you with the current state of things in the industry.
Like you highlighted though, most people and pharmacists only see retail as an option, when that's just not the truth any longer. The industry of pharmacy is shifting and naturally, jobs in retail will decrease, but that doesn't mean a career in pharmacy isn't worth it anymore. I agree, retail is going down, but that's exactly my point. It will and should go down; automation hits every industry and pharmacy isn't any different. But in our modern times, we have so many opportunities as pharmacists that most people fail to see and identify. A pharmacist/PharmD no longer means only a retail pharmacy
@@FocusRx Like I'm still on the fence but won't it be horrible if it really is 70% retail and then it goes to automaton then everyone in retail tries to apply for an industry position where companies may try to hire like one (depending on the need but I don't know how industry works)

This seems to be out of date. Don’t be a pharmacist, you will likely end up in retail (absolutely awful), unless you think you can get into clinical rotations (extremely competitive, way more pharmacists then rotations).
Retail pharmacists gets to leave there work when they go home? Not true.
There are too many pharmacy students, it is too competitive. You will be lucky to even get a retail job at the minimum, and they are treated terribly with about 80k starting pay (unless you happen to be in the few high demand areas, be sure to look where they are).
These poor students are being told this is still a good job, wasting years of their lives, 100k of student debt, just to work in a terrible environment. It will not become better until it is a pharmacists market again, if it ever does, and these videos don’t help.
Talk to someone new to retail, if you are considering being a pharmacist. It’s likely where you will end up, and they can tell you how it really is today; and what it is looking like.
Plsss asap can you teach with a pharma d ?? Can you be a professor
Don't do it. Just say no and walk away while you can. You can thank me later.

@@olivia_kinney Well if you're in retail - the corporations have you trapped. Your are their slave. They own you. A pharmacy degree is called "The Golden Handcuffs" for a reason. Or maybe like "Hotel California". Once you get in, get a car, bills and a family, It's very hard to get out and the big corporations have you right where they want you. Also the PBM's LEGALLY STEAL all the profits that used to be part of the business. So that leaves you as a slave in a low profit/margin business. No future in it, homie! You wanna do drive up windows? It's a lot like working at Mcdonalds.
Pharmacists in europe is a joke too. You get the same salary as working in a food chain and you have double if not triple work to do. If I could chose aftwe 3 years of being a pharmacist i would say its not worth the time and its veryndifficult to transition to any indurstry

I’m already a pharmacy technician and I’m really looking into going back to school so I can become a Pharmacist but I’m 33yrs old and Idk if it’s such a great idea to start at this point.
I’m 28 and switching careers into the medical field, going back to school as a freshman next fall. A strong point someone told me was, “you’re going to be 45 at some point in your life, who do you want to be?” So I say go for it!
Is there anything that would make is a bad idea besides ur age? If not then its actually not a big of a deal go for it alot of ppl start when they are even in their 50s and in the end of the day age was never a problem with science and studies
I am 27 and started pharmacy in Europe, I am one of the older students but I dont care, do it for yourself.
I’m 32! And I’m doing it!
Pre-pharmacy and pharmacy school is very much different than working in a pharmacy doing dispensing functions. You will have to be able to handle the math and science which is on the same level as medical school. The course work requires deep understanding and not just mere memorization like learning brand and generics names and learning pharmacy rules and procedures.
I decided to go to pharmacy college (How stupid i am)
And this was a very wrong decision …because we are famous with selling the medicine nothing else (same as having a market )
We are studying for nothing !
Reading all drug but the doctors will write prescription !
This decision ruined my life …
Being a nurse is much better than being a pharmacist believe me🤝
Im in third stage right now🤡
Don't be a negative nancy
That’s very surface level thinking
Speaking of things that are overlooked-- learn about insurance!!! Everyone hates it, but it’s a necessary evil in this country, and the more you understand the better off you will be.
Love this tip!!! Totally agree it’s a necessary evil
This job is giving me constipation. I don't have a time to go while on duty . Tell me if you or any of your colleagues have the same experience?

why?

Reasonsssssss,
Please tell me generally why a person shouldn’t do pharmacy. Aside the loan because some can pay. I really like pharmacy and I am checking all different areas of job.

If you're gonna work at CVS how much do you really gotta know. Just gotta put pills in bottles at a fast pace.
This is the rant of someone trying to convince themselves they made the right decision 🤣😂🤣. How is a con, “you always have to be at your best”??
1) Take your licensing exams ASAP. Don’t wait, doesn’t matter what career choice you take. You’d be a fool not to.
2) She also lost me at, “pay gap” since pharmacy is overwhelmingly female dominated and I’d love for her to show any stats on this.
3) The growth outlook for the next 5-10 years is NEGATIVE (3% to 5%) and is being overloaded by low talent new grads churned out by diploma mills. CA has 13+ schools alone. 13+! Talent pool dilution to the max!!!
4) Lowered standards for schools and many students require multiple attempts to take the board exams and pass them, it’s sad. Pick a top school, and if you don’t get in don’t settle.
5) don’t do anything in healthcare because it may have good pay. That’s the WORST reason to go into a career. This is terrible advice.
Nope. Do something else.
Why bruh
You are not a pharmacist. You should probably remove that from your website until you are a licensed pharmacist. It seems misleading.
She is a Doctor of Pharmacy so why are you writing that she is not a pharmacist?
I haven't taken my NAPLEX, so I'm not a board-certified pharmacist, but I don't work as that or advertise myself as that. I am a PharmD/pharmacist :)
You sound so uneducated Brad. The moment you get your PharmD degree you are a pharmacist, irrespective of whether you're licensed or not.
In North Carolina you can not hold yourself out as a pharmacist without a license. Merely having a degree in pharmacy does not make you a pharmacist. You have to prove yourself first by passing the NAPLEX. I know of a few PharmD's from an accelerated degree program (Appalachian School of Pharmacy) that were never able to pass the NAPLEX after several tries. They have the degree, but I would hardly call them a pharmacist.
It seems like pharmacists learn nothing about regulations in school. Either that or they just forget
FDA and national regulations are taught, but specific state regulations are only taught for the state you go to school in. Regardless, regulations are something that continuously change so healthcare professionals (not just pharmacists) have to stay on top of it every year regardless, but I'm unclear on the purpose of your comment?
