Do you think I can start studying to become a pharmacist at age 46?
Favorite Answer
1. You’ll wonder about it for the rest of your life if you don’t.
2. You’re still going to be the same age in five years if you don’t do it, but you’ll be without the degree.
3. You’ll be competing with people who don’t have the life experience or knowledge that you have; probably not the dedication, either. Many students enter a higher-learning program simply for money or because they don’t want to enter the working world yet.
4. Do you want to spend the rest of your working life at a job that you may or may not care for, or do you want to spend the rest of it doing something you’ve always wanted to do?
Congrats on choosing pharmacy. It is one of the most trusted profession and good paying jobs in the nation. I feel that at age 46 is not too old. You are never to old to go back to school. I;ve gone to school with a 60 year old man before. Let me tell you, his experiences electrified the class. Experiences count and you should have plenty of that. So if you are just starting off, it will take you 2-3 years to finish your requirements. If you have a bachelors already, but no requirements done yet, it may take you only 2 years.
School comes and goes by fast. So if you were to finish you pre-reqs for pharmacy school you;ll be 50 years old (say you don;t have a degree yet).
Pharmacy School is 3 to 4 years. So you;ll be 53-54 years old by the time you graduate. Pharmacy is a secured profession. There are a lot of jobs available and you will be working until you die, LITERALLY!
I think pharmacy is a great profession for anyone who have a family or are looking for a secured career!
Good Luck and update me on your choice.I am almost finished writing my book on how to get into pharmacy school, if you are interested please go to the website below.
Good luck =)
