You don't need a change of career you dumb fuck, you need a change of country.
Move to canada or some other backwater shithole that ISN'T reverting to the dark ages.

If you are going to go back to school to be a pharmacist, you'll need 6 years to do it. That's assuming you are able to fit all those classes around your life.

But hey, my boss is a pharmacist and owns an Audi S4, and a $350,000 home. Which is not bad.

I don't think he's interested in being a phamacist. If so he'd go to med school. It'd probably be less than 6 years for him, too, assuming he could follow up on research he's already completed.

Pharmacology is a chemistry based profession, so some of his Bio classes might help, but even then you're still widdling down 6 yrs worth of work which is a lot to start with.

TBH it doesn't matter what you do with 6 years of your life, from my perspective. So whittle it away on a degree, or trying to create a better Daikatana.
Both are equal, really. One might allow you to give people more enjoyment life, and the other is Daikatana.

Perhaps, but most PhD programs are 4-5 years, and classes typically only constitute the first part of the program. Most is research, so if he already has a headstart on that, it could reduce the time required.
edit: then again, I don't know which school he's thinking about

But did you ever play Daikatana?
Go sit in the corner.

Yeah, I don't know if he wants to be a pharmacist. Or be the guy that developes the drugs for the pharmacist.

So, do I leave a secure job as a teacher (which isn't all bad since I get extra money from side work like my textbook writing stuff), or go back to being a starving PhD student for 4 more years...?
Is it sold in stores or just in your school library.
I want one. You are so smarter in a way then I am.

PhD in pharmacology - not the same as becoming a pharmacist.
I'd be on the drug research/development end of things (which some pharmacists also do...)

I'm looking at one lab right now that investigates the different responses to opiates and THC in males and females.....might take a bit of discipline to work around that all day....

Need any test subjects? All in the name of science, mind you. For the good of all mankind and such.

It's way to early to start signing people up for that...I don't even know if I'll pursue it for sure...and if I do, it won't be until Spring semester of 2006 anyhow. And its all done on animals...heh.
