Hey, I’m a first year pharm student.
regarding the job market, I’m not too worried. It really depends where you end up deciding to settle. Salary/hour is much lower in Toronto $35/hour) compared to places like Kitchener where you could get like $45/50+ per hour. I’ve also worked alongside a lot of pharmacists and noticed that they get hired very quickly after they leave previous jobs. So they’re still quite in demand. Lastly, in terms of automation, I don’t see that as a barrier to us. In fact, I see it as beneficial as most of the tech is replacing the technical aspects of dispensing, pharmacists will always be needed for clinical and therapeutic aspects.
Feel free to DM me if u guys have any questions!
