It may be a PhD for pharmacist, yeah. We lost touch a few years ago when they moved away, but he went to school for something like 10 years. So I think it is a PhD. But there were no jobs. Last I heard, even the job he has now doesn't cover insurance, so he pays for that himself and they're still living like he works at Burger King.
I've always heard it was in high demand because every drug store needs a pharmacist and the education requirements are stringent so the supply is not great.
There was a 10 year lag time between when he started school and when he finished. It's extremely difficult to predict what's going to be in demand and what's not over that time period.
Even still there should be plenty of steps in a career between a PhD in Pharmacy and working at Burger King.
Why didn’t he learn JavaScript?
Is that a pharmacist degree? Don't those need a PhD equivalent to be most beneficial?
