I thought myschedule solves everything?I am at 130k ish... on track to making > 170k this year.
I have the options of picking up more hours with holiday and flu season coming around but meh.... I didn't do too much OT this year. Mostly because I know I will be going into stores with no help even if their MySchedule is optimized... I am burned out from working at my store already.

I don't measure my success in monetary values- I measure it by the number of students I make smile over the course of the calendar year.
Smiles since January: two.
I'm way ahead of last year.

You track success by smiles?
I use tears.
Nope. I am office based amb care, so appointment based visits and consult.No overtime opportunities for you?
Nope. I am office based amb care, so appointment based visits and consult. There is no shift work to pick up extra hours or any dispensing duties to pick up extra.
I have no interest in OT, I have interest in more days off. Love my job though.
If these people are working <55 hrs/wk, 150k+/year is a lot of money no matter how many years have been working as a pharmacist... Most professionals will not see that kind of salary in their lifetime.Numbers don't tell much unless you also tell us how many years you've worked & how many hours/week you work as well

Every time I visit this forum, I am reminded of the mistake I made of giving up my pharm school acceptance for the class of 2016 to pursue medicine...

The saturation is not as bad as people in SDN are making it out to be IMO... I know of a few people who were able to find job in south FL after graduation...Wouldn't you prefer to stay in med amidst all the saturation/unemployment/decreasing wage talk as a Pharmacist? Seems like a safer option to me.

My two cents...
I think very few of you understand how rare it is to find six-figure paying jobs that are non-exempt. Corporations see that kind of pay will immediately want to push you into exempt status so they can squeeze as many "free" hours out of you. Plus, how rare is it to find floater jobs which pay $50+ per hour? And have so many hours available too! This is surely a boon for those pharmacists stuck in exempt positions.
It's not bad now, but it will be. That's the point. Pharmacy schools don't just go away, they grow.The saturation is not as bad as people in SDN are making it out to be IMO... I know of a few people who were able to find job in south FL after graduation...

I kid.
Wow... thats awesome. How do you do it? Are you married? Kids? When do you sleep?152k so far. On track to do 220k this year. Working 55-70 hours per week at 2 hospitals (FT + per diem).
When I feel tired, I think of all the residents working 80+ hour weeks earning 50k a year and how fortunate I am to be paid hourly.
55-70 hrs/wk ... Let say that poster works an average of ~63 hrs/wk... Believe it or not, a lot of people work these kind of hours... Many companies that hire professionals put them on salary so they can make them work as many hours they want them to. Heck! Most physicians work 55+ hours/wk according to 'career in medicine' page on AAMC website.Wow... thats awesome. How do you do it? Are you married? Kids? When do you sleep?
Well, the person I know making $200K makes it mostly from hospital work with a little retail on the side.Haha this makes me jealous of retail people....but just slightly.
People should take with a huge grain of salt what they read in this forum... Being a pharmacist working in retail is probably hard, so are most other jobs out there that don't even pay ****... Today I met a young pharmacist (probably mid-to-late 30s) that told me he works only 2 days(24 hrs)/wk making over 60k/year... He's been a pharmacist for 10 years; he was joking and even said 'I am semi-retired in my 30s'. How many professions these days that give people this kind of flexibility? Not many...This. I am amazed at how some people here act like they went to school for 6 - 8 years to get minimum wage. Yes, pharmacy isn't quite as nice as back in the days of $40,000 sign-on bonuses, but anyone with any knowledge of economics knew those days couldn't last. Pharmacy is still one of the highest paid career options available. *Especially* starting out. People talk about the "higher potential" in other career fields, but most people in other career fields never make the "higher potential" and when they do, they have sacrificed far more time than most pharmacists (and there are many who sacrifice all that time, and don't make the "higher potential.")

How are you pharmacists making that kind of money??
MOre than I thought.
My wife is part time at WAGS.
If someone gets OT and works about 50 hours a week breaking 170k won't be too hard. If your base pay is $60 you'll get around 125k a year, 10 hours of overtime every week for 52 weeks at time and a half ($90) would give you an additional 47k. All in all it's a little over 170k a year if that's someone's schedule assuming OT pay. It can be done as easily as working 1-2 shifts on your week where you have more days off or working per diem somewhere for a day.
My hospital doesWait who pays time and a half?
I think mail order does tooMy hospital does
My yearly salary is $111,785. I have worked a few shifts of OT this year. I'll probably gross $115k when all is said and done. Hospital in the midwest. So very jealous of the large penises in this thread.

Well, it's more of an illustration of wage inflation too, but still remarkable. At $8/hr 40hr/week, an employee works for 9 years to total $150k. I'm assuming your dad didn't just have an extremely short career.I will be making this year as much as my dad made from all the years he worked. Just to show you how much you can jump from one generation to another.

145k so far, not like I care much anymore, anything over 100k gross is enough for me when my expenses is less than 15k/yr...
