These glorified pill dispensers make 6 figures (and have a benevolent, non-adversarial reputation in society as "helping people").

http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=640237

Also the forum discusses nurses who make 6 figures. Unbelievable.

true. I know a pharmacist who makes $75 bucks/hour working on the side on the weekends, on top of her six figure salary. Plus, she clocks in when she starts driving to this side gig, which is a half hour away.

75 an hour is fucking unbelievable for a profession that 99 percent of us could of easily gotten into. I have looked at pharmacy textbooks and the vast majority is straight up memorization. There are no analytical skills needed per se. Their exam is a fucking joke in comparison to the bar.

You have 75 pills that you have to evenly divide into two bottles.

i have a relative who is a nurse who makes 6 figures but she has been working for a long time. they start @ normal salaries below 65k or so depending on their qualifications but it steadily rises, just as most lawyer's salaries do.

yeah, to make bank as a nurse you have to be a NP, which requires quite a bit of work.

but you're making money, instead of going into debt in school

i'd rather chase ambulances or do ID work for $40K a year than be a nurse or pharmacist.

one is on your feet for 12 hour shifts dealing with germs and shit and depressing/insane people, not to mention cocksucker doctors.

the other means you supervise a bunch of confused pakistanis in a little white room all day and your checks are signed by walgreen's.

After the government gets full control of healthcare on this country, I expect salaries in the medical profession to take a hit. Look at what HMOs did to the medical profession

They wouldn't have to fill out nearly as much paperwork if they weren't taking advantage of this "pay by procedure" model.

Pharmacist ssalaries will probably start to go down eventually. A) What are they really doing that requires them to be paid 6 figures? B) The profession is just starting to be saturated. I have some friends in pharmacy school and according to them, the market is getting much more competitive than it used to be. Additionally, I think more and more schools are opening up pharmacy schools (this sounds familiar).

As for nurses. I have no idea, but I don't think most nurses make 6 figures though. I think that they have to be working weird hours or specialized, but i could be wrong. Besides who the hell would ever want to be a nurse? The job sucks, most of the other nurses suck, and your not really respected by anyone. I used to hang out with some nursing students; most of them had personality defects or were kind of stupid (especially the males). And just to point out, in the 80's there was a surplus of nurses, and many left the field, so there might not be a lack of nurses forever (if one even really exists now, many hospitals have laid nurses off).
