hi every1, i just graduated my stpm this year with cgpa 3.2 ..i thought of doing a degree in pharmacy. i meet d requirement of private uni but not public uni..i thought of doing it in ucsi since it is cheaper compare to imu n monash. however, it still need 110k. i have financial difficulties. ptptn loan i check oni supply ard 80k so d 30K have to use our own $?. besides, im constantly hearing pharmacist in msia are saturated, is it true?im worry about that ..thank u in advance for replying me ^^

this is because i like chemistry n want to help people..but im afraid i dun hv d money to pay for fees..if really cant help i will switch to become a chemist..

correct me if im wrong zstan, if i m nt mistaken pharmacist working in hospital have to :
1. round d ward n check doctor prescription see correct medicine bo the doc give
2. do blood test all that
3. advice patient wat to take
4. prescribe medicine for minor illness
but if working in d small shop like guardian just like a sales person n im aware of it...
im aware oso that mostly i will end up in guardian all since hospital position mostly full..meaning to say i have to become a salesperson standing bhind d counter checking stocks n if d patients come n cough just sell them medicine like that ..
i know this sounds impossible n stupid, but i do have a vision to become a pharmacist in australia..reason bcus income n working environment there. my a-level fren just finish her studies n she is in australia nw doing her 1st year degree, she told me she will help me ask d lecturer there for d pathway to become pharmacist in australia. of cos, fees to register there as a pharmacist will be so expensive that may take lot of years to collect but there is a saying that u imagine wat urself to be according to d law of attraction.
i saw 1 of ur post said that in july 2013, australia dun need pharmacist anymore but my fren said australia now need..i dunno hw far is true. but that is nt my concern nw. zstan, u r a pharmacist right? mind sharing ur experience why u bcum a pharmacist n hw ur life nw? thank u so much
