Pharmacists are now getting $35/hr, screenshot attached. "Urgently hiring". I am very confused why any prepharms would consider pharmacy school now?
They probably think as long as it is better than minimum wage, they will take it.Pharmacists are now getting $35/hr, screenshot attached. "Urgently hiring". I am very confused why any prepharms would consider pharmacy school now?
I just turned down 45k (one for 20, one for 25)in signing bonus so others in the profession may benefit. Its tough out here, but there is hopePharmacists are now getting $35/hr, screenshot attached. "Urgently hiring". I am very confused why any prepharms would consider pharmacy school now?
I turned down a position at 30$. Took everything in my not to laugh when they told me the pay.Pharmacists are now getting $35/hr, screenshot attached. "Urgently hiring". I am very confused why any prepharms would consider pharmacy school now?
I actually applied to a few $35/hr jobs and didn't even hear back. The 35's I saw were all for working a vaccine clinic though, not a retail pharmacist. Luckily I think I have a job now that pays more.Pharmacists are now getting $35/hr, screenshot attached. "Urgently hiring". I am very confused why any prepharms would consider pharmacy school now?
You shouldn't laugh at a serious job offer. 30 / hr is much more than 0 an hour.I turned down a position at 30$. Took everything in my not to laugh when they told me the pay.
remember that you have 40 years to earn money
While it's tempting to post here with others who also dislike the pharmacy out look i regress. P
Regressing to a more infantile state where the ability to criticize is not available.lol regress or digress?
My main job is a pastor and I consider pharmacy to be a hobby that has the potential to pay well.
That's crazy. My hospital pays $45+ for RNs to work the vaccine clinic and this is in a relatively low COL area.I actually applied to a few $35/hr jobs and didn't even hear back.

Do you buy things that don't provide value?Does this also mean consumer value?
I feel so bad for pharmacists. I lurk this thread from time to time and I'm completely DISGUSTED by some of the job offers I see.
I'm a RN working in the NICU, in a large metropolitan area and I get $40/hr. I only work nights so I get differential for that as well. Weekdays ~$44/hr, Weekends ~$48/hr.
I actually talked to someone recently who came to my pharmacy seeking career advice. She was not at all aware that there was a shortage of jobs for pharmacists. I told her that I strongly recommend to do some searching on BLS and the internet about the job market. People must think it's really easy money or something, that's the only reason I can think why it has such strong interest.
The BLS website is the problem. For 10 years while demand was ebbing relative to supply, BLS said jobs should be growing. Meanwhile, you could check pharmacy forums and see that entry level pay was flatlining, raises were getting scaled back, and by mid 2010s, payrates and total comp and quality of life at work were declining.I actually talked to someone recently who came to my pharmacy seeking career advice.

Yeah, the public still has that idea that we can go wherever/whenever/do anything as a pharmacist and just rake in the cash. It's not until I tell them that the profession has been destroyed and the job market is terrible, that they even question it. It's always, "Oh wow, are you serious? Not even guaranteed 40 hours per week? Sharply decreasing hourly rate? Whatever do you mean?"
