50k in a sign on bonus ..............BULLSHIT FLAG IS THROWN!!!You're right, I have nothing better to do then come onto fargo street and lie to make myself look cool.
PharmD = money in teh bank!
5k next year, 5k my senior year, and 20k a year for the first two years I work in AZ. For those of us who are in college, we find that [5k(2) + 20k(2)] = 50k. I also get 2:1 stock options every 4 years of which I can contribute 10% salary (typically ends up being about 60-70k every 4 years), 3.8:1 profit sharing (should make an easy 1.5mil by the time I am sixty) and 10% discount on good 'ole Walgreen's stock. Not to mention they have already given me 2k a year for the first four years of school that I went to. Oh, and I am signing on for $62 an hour, again if we do the math it's about $125k a year.
Stay in school.

seanjohn u are on of a select few that took a good route in school. if everything goes as u say.
How do you figure he's one of the few?Becoming a pharmacist is extremely difficult. It's nothing like getting a BA....the tests are grueling and alomost no one even gains entrance into the program. The pay is exceptional, though

there are very few exceptions where a person with no formal education will make that kind of money. self employment and back breaking manual labor are about the only two

he's braggin about how much he makes. so it obviously makes him cool.

If I wanted to brag, I would about being more intelligent than 99% of society....but I'm a humble guy :rolleyes: . Money is not why I pursued a career in pharmaceutical sciences, and I am certainly not bragging. I am simply trying to prove a point. If all goes as planned I will eventually gain my PhD and make my way into research and development; cure cancer, aids, the bird flu, herpes...stuff like that.Pharmacy is pretty tough to get into....but certainly not impossible. Anyone who has the work ethic to dedicate an extra 15 hours a week, or so, to studying can do it. Plus the knowledge you gain is priceless.
I don't think he was referring to you, i think it was directed toward the66

Actually, i was referring to sean john. nobody cares if you make 6 digits per year, you bumped a thread from november obviously to tell us about you 50k sign on bonus or whatever, thats great and everything...but 99.9% of this board could probably give a shit less.
But atleast you told us all the oppurtunities that you get from pharmaciticul(however you spell it) and your options. Again congrats, but its kinda ignorant to do it...especially in a thread that died 2 months ago.

Ahh...well my instinct was right, in which case go ahead and refer back to the sarcastic comment I made.
I'm not bragging at all, I could give 2 shits what the majority of the people on this board think of me, I was simply trying to prove a point. I'm not ignorant, nor was I trying to be. College: > money, simple as that.
