Hi all,

I'm probably going uni this year (been accepted), I say probably because I still don't know if I want to do another degree...with all the added stress. I should listen to every1 and just do it!

Hello once again and hope I'm not too much trouble

[Fleegle]

Welcome to the forum!

How many degrees do you already have?

Fleeg.

Hiya,

have one, in business and computing...and am now thinking of doing pharmacy but am still deciding if I should do it or not...its a big commitment and financially too (i have to pay the fees myself and will have to work around a mon-fri timetable) and am worried about studying whilst working etc and trying to make that money and I worry about it all fitting around a family life and caring for elderly parents...too many questions!!

But answering your question lol yeah I've done one degree....

business and computer degree, mate you could work every where! have u tried working with your degree, or you just want to do another degree without even giving it a try?

let's just say what interests you about pharmacy? have you worked in a pharmacy before? did you want to me a pharmacist years ago?

if it's the money, trust me you would hate it after a couple of years if you join for the sake of the money. tho you could earn loads of money from your business degree as well.

Hiya,

thanks for the welcome

its the idea of having a profession I can fall back on thats all.

I tried working with my degree but I don't have the masses of qualifications they wanted for a basic job, worked for some borough councils and wanted to get out asap am now in retail which surprisingly I enjoy (i thinks its the idea of not sitting behind a desk and getting ridiculously bored.) I would like to think pharmacy will allow me to be flexible - bring some money in whilst setting up a business in something totally unrelated...which I've always wanted to do but know that if I doesn't go to plan then I'll be in sainsburys all my life stacking shelves paying a loan off...I'm looking at pharmacy as a safety net even if I never ever set up a business. And no I'm not interested in running my own pharmacy at this very moment...

With the business side to it I will have to specialise within that area and not really interested in areas like hr, accounts, finance...

I hope it doesn't sound like the money i'm after! its the profession.

Yeah I did some work experience in community pharmacy it was okay...

Am sure I will curse myself one day (if I definitely choose to do this) but I personally feel every job has a 'bore' factor built within it, it just depends on your attitude towards it, how you deal with it and what you take out of it.

you have got some good reasons. go for it, there is nothing wrong to be after the money, but it should not be the only reason as you will simply get bored and leave the register.
the business degree might help you in efficently running a branch after qualifying, minimizing costs, maximizing profits...etc

if you are wondering about the content of the course, i managed to provide some answers under the "mature student" thread.
good luck, feel free to ask us all (students and pharmacists) about anything that concerns you
