<p>It’s a pharmacist. It’s not like law or business where you need a pedigree to get into the market. Most healthcare jobs just care that you have the degree and pass the certification exams.</p>
<p>Being a pharmacist 2 years earlier means pros are:
- No worrying about applying or taking stressful exams for Pharmacy school.
- 2 fewer years of paying grad school (estimating at 35K a year including living expenses, that’s 70K. 70K of a loan, with interest, is quite a lot)
- Working two years sooner (at 90K a year as a pharmacist, that’s another 180k)</p>
<p>So 70K plus 180K = 250K. Is Cornell with $250,000, two extra years of school, and the stress of reapplying to pharmacy school later on?</p>
