it is quite simple, once you have reach the limit/threshold for your position, move to another level then.

e.g., pharmacist>pharmacy manager/store manager/manager of some sort>area manager>regional manager>CEO of the company etc

pharmacist>pharmacist in charge of certain department/specialist pharmacist>head of department>regional pharmacist manager for hospitals of an area>head of hospitals pharmacist of an region/head of hospital maybe>minister of health

the sky is the limit. the money is where the managerial role is.

whatever the profession, there is no limit to it, should it be a cleaner or a pharmacist. just that a pharmacy degree gives you a better starting point if compare to a cleaner.

nah, dont bother to read. you have plenty time to read when you have started term time.

enjoy the holiday as much as possible.

@el8155

decision is yours. ict at penang also a not bad alternative because of the usm degree.

cost of living at cheras area ucsi could be quite high, around rm800 including rent etc.

anyway, ucsi pharmacy orientation is days away, you better make up your mind soon. you will have a hard time catching up once they started teaching

Good question! Lol. The truth is I didn't, coz I didn't think with such 'lousy' grades (i.e. with B+ grades) I must possess some kind of dumb luck to be accepted into NUS Pharmacy course. Anyhow, a bit freaked at having to serve Singapore government for 5 years in exchange for their sponsorship as now the economic condition there isn't too good, right? And ASEAN scholarship lagi la hard to get. That's why I didn't try. I hate it when people keep asking me, 'Why didn't you try Singapore??' Singapore is a country, not food...   

@el8155 - Ya I applied... but they haven't got back to me about whether I got accepted or not..  Gotta call them tomorrow man... class starts on Thursday! Haihz... if UCSI tak jadi then have to mati2 go into AIMST lo... if that wan oso tak dapat, I just go back to my job right now and wait for next year's round of intakes... 

Or wait... maybe Masterskill lo....    But dunno how good it is. Is the program only in its first year?

@el8155 - In a way, it would be quite fun to be in a relatively new program huh? Get to share 'glory' stories with future students, just like what the AIMST seniors are doing now, haha. But Masterskill I heard the administration not so good... haiyo dunno la, every uni oso lidat wan mah... About UCSI - who knows tak dapat... haih... 

What about you? What's your predicament?

@el8155

i just chat with my friend who is in charge or the ucsi pharmacy orientation. it seems only 35 people on the confirm list.

should be plenty of vacant place still. as long as you have the grades and money, you should be able to get in.

@goodfella_rocka

bonded 5 years in exchange for good education is not a bad choice. i wouldnt say it is a better country but at least they try and keep the talent there.

@el8155 - Not to say administration no good... I heard like they've got some kind of internal conflict there... students also don't really like the way they run the college, something like that. Haven't heard of La Trobe before heheh Ooo if we both go UCSI hehe we can meet up o... ^^  Discuss with your parents kaw kaw...

@goodfella_rocka

first post, memberlist.

as long as i can make a decent living and provide my children with good education next time, i am satisfied. i even considered accountancy.

if i am going to serve as a academician then only i would take up postgraduate. i am good being just a pharmacist.

@el8155

eventually, every pharmacy prog would be accredited. imagine someone invested so much money in setting up a school of pharmacy, sure they will comply with the rules. worst come to worst, there are still the 'boleh' way.

i dont think aimst is hard to get. well, at least they tried to convince me and other friends to go there last year

@jerk - Really. I called AIMST today to ask if I could still apply for the intake and they just told me, 'Sorry, no places left.' And hung up on me. WTH? Haha. I guess it's my fault too for applying too late.

@el8155 - We see how le in a few days' time...    It's a very crucial time for us all! So are you going to apply to UCSI?

You saying aimst? They only have 50 places and will be reserved for foundation serious

add me to member list

3rd year (this coming semester)  KICT Pharmacy undergraduates here = )

@youngkies - Lol, don't we all? Are you studying or working anyway?

@Dely - Ah cool! We have one senior from KICT! How is life over there as pharmacy student there? How is the campus, lecturers, facilities and everything?

Anyway I think I'm gonna stay at UCSI. Should I crash and burn I will ask to change course to biotech or food science.

Cynthia..may i know how is the course of pharmacy?is it like physics  and maths which require a lot of twist and turn ...or like biology requires a lot of memorising work? How to ensure we can score?and what is the main reason the students will fail?Is it because they lazy to memorize or they r not good in twist and turn the knowledge? I can be very hardworking..i m juz afraid that the success depends on talent ..which means even i am hardworking..but i cannot be guaranteed to score juz because i am not smart enough to turn like in maths and physics..can u pls reply me as soon as possible?thank you very much..
   currently i am planning to take the foundation in mahsa or masterskill..i did my stpm already..but my chemistry doesnt meet their minimum requirement..mahsa and masterskill ask me to take foundation in their college...mahsa and masterskill ...which one is better in pharmacy degree?masterskill already have their 4+0 la trobe degree...now is the second year..although they said the syllabus and books are from la trobe..but i think the lecturers are the same people who r teaching the pharmacy diploma students in masterskill ...so..r the lecturers qualified enough to teach the degree students?then about the mahsa..they said they will have pharmacy degree starting this september...they said if i want..i have to take foundation ..same as the masterskilll....but they r u not in colloboration with any other foreign universtiy like masterskill...and i think they also use the lecturers teaching diploma in mahsa themselves..so..i really confused now..can u pls teach me how to do now? thank you very much..pls reply me as soon as possible..they already start their foundation course now..
