I don't know much about the job market, but it seems weird that they push people throw college for degrees they can't use. My friend got a masters degree in pharma and he didn't get a job for about 2 years, his wife had to work as a retail manager to support their whole family, and he had a mental breakdown because of it.
That's the point I was getting at.
- pkaye 8y ago> masters degree in pharma Is that a pharmacist degree? Don't those need a PhD equivalent to be most beneficial?
- sbjs 8y agoIt may be a PhD for pharmacist, yeah. We lost touch a few years ago when they moved away, but he went to school for something like 10 years. So I think it is a PhD. But there were no jobs. Last I heard, even the job he has now doesn't cover insurance, so he pays for that himself and they're still living like he works at Burger King.
- tzahola 8y agoWhy didn’t he learn JavaScript?
- pkaye 8y agoI've always heard it was in high demand because every drug store needs a pharmacist and the education requirements are stringent so the supply is not great.
- s73v3r_ 8y agoThere was a 10 year lag time between when he started school and when he finished. It's extremely difficult to predict what's going to be in demand and what's not over that time period.
- pkaye 8y agoEven still there should be plenty of steps in a career between a PhD in Pharmacy and working at Burger King.
- tspike 8y agoYes, the requisite degree these days is a "PharmD"
