Congratulations man :) At 31k a year and housing costs perhaps it might be worth your while to limit WoW :) Or you could just be like Dr. Nick and worry about how to operate, mix drugs and diagnose after you get your degree :grin:

Not to sound insulting, but what is a doctor of pharmacy? A pharmacist? Pharmacy technician? Do you actually get a "Doctor" title or will you be a doctor in the sense of "Dr. Dre"?

The doctor of pharmacy accelerated program gives me a BSc in Pharmacy and a First Doctorate (PharmD (but yes, a PhD)) in 6 years.

I have the official title of "doctor" as soon as I receive my Doctorate, and can also prescribe medication under conditions set by the state/province.

Students with the PharmD have a starting salary of 105,000$ in any state, and one slightly higher in California (110,00$), also, you can begin to research new medication and enter the business of production.

Or, you can open your own little pharmacy and be a traditional- more experienced pharmacist.

All depends on your likes/dislikes..
