    I dropped out too, honestly I'm happy now, although I wasn't sure at first, but I'm so glad I didn't stay I'd be in debt 200k

      What are you doing now? I am hating pharmacy school and working at a pharmacy. It wasn’t bad at first, until dealing with angry people and insurance all day starts eating at you. You realize how undervalued and under-appreciated you are. I want to drop out before I incur further debt. My school is a SCHEME! $350k and I am at $100k at 1 year in. I would still be better off if I left to become a commercial pilot. Girlfriend’s family has many pilots who are very esteemed and successful in the Air Force and at large airlines. I had a lot of bad things that happened to me in life which forced me into an escape from my home life which is how I was easily sold on the pharmacy program I am in now.

      @@jakejenkins8150 I graduated with a Bachelors in computer science in feb this year actually, and just currently looking for a new job! Brother can i ask what school are you going to that is charging you 350k for a pharm.D?! the thought of that is absolutely maddening im so sorry you're dealing with bro! Listen its never too late to leave if you're unhappy, especially if your school is a 4 year program, having to do that for 4 years drove me nuts so much so that after first week of pharm school i took a samurai sword to all the plants in my backyard and had slashed them up! If you dont wanna do pharmacy and dont wanna have to deal with that ridiculous amount of debt you can still get out and work towards a better life, remember there a student loan forgiveness programs, my mom combined all of our school loans into one and its nearly 500k! This is because she got a doctorate of chiro and this jacked it up bad! So i understand your frustration, right now you need to think of what you want to do, think about what kind of job it is and read more about pharmacy profession! Just make sure what you want to do is something you can do and wont be dreaded by it everyday!

    I am a student of Pharmacy Department.Recently I finished the 4th semester and um half way of my degree.But I am not enjoying studying pharmacy. It feels like I am studying it forcefully. I think I have more interest in tech related things and I should have choose CSE.Moreover the job life will be more stressful in pharmacy field.I think engineers have more chill out job life.Even they can work from home! I have a gap year after the 12th.So basically, if I dropped it, I would lose 3 years of life. Should I continue study pharmacy or drop it?

      Essentially I skipped grade 7 when I was younger and so I entered University at 17 years old, finished first year at 17. Finished second year at 18 and finished third year at 19. My birthday is in August so I turned 20 the August after I graduated. I got a 3-year Bachelors of Science
