I beat you in today's challenge, but not by much. Was careless and got hurt too much. So I'll finish above you in the Novice division at least. Now I just need a bunch of peeps to finish in the $2000 range that separates us so I can gain some points in the Pro standings. So if everyone would die right at $30000, that'd be peachy.

Man...Finally starting to get decent scores in the DC and it's over. Also, first meal of the day and it's 6 PM. That can't be good.

 
So people who have played both Far Cry 3 and 4. Which one have you enjoyed more?

And I could totally go for a P'zone right now. Dammit Tyler.

Any idea how hard it is to become a pharmacist?

Do you want a serious answer? I'm in the process right now.

 
GameStop can suck it. I preordered the GameCube adapter from them instead of Best Buy because they offered in-store pick up. I go to pick it up and they tell me they don't have any. What is the point of preordering again?

Now resellers on Amazon are trying to charge outrageous amounts of money for the things. $80 and up.

This time of year is just especially busy for me generally, even moreso this year. I likely will be back to normal sometime in January. I haven't touched Destiny in a few weeks. I'll likely pop in to check the new content next month but I dont see it keeping me around. Its kinda run its course for me. I'm maxed out for what's available and am not particularly eager to climb the next tier when it hits.

Yeah, although I did look it up and it doesn't seem so bad. How's it going for you?

Well right now I'm in the process of applications for pharm schools but I'm a tech at a retail pharmacy so I see the basic things that a pharmacist does. Pretty much all the hard part is school and the PCAT. Besides some book work and handling controls, the techs do all the grunt work and the pharmacists just oversees. I can definitely see myself being a retail pharmacist.

If you have any inclination in becoming a pharmacist, you should think about being a tech/or even a clerk if you don't want to take the tech test.

What are the qualifications to becoming a tech or clerk? What's the average pay?
 
Wow you guys were right. That key run was super easy. Spent a good chunk of change on a jetpack and then just skipped to the end of every level. Good shit. Temple shortcut unlocked.

Clerk is nothing at all. There responsibilities of a clerk is mostly just running the cash register with a few other jobs. The pay is a little over minimum wage I think but it is a piss easy job. If you don't know anything, you are expected to ask the tech to take over.

The tech is required to take the pharm tech test (score doesn't matter you just need to pass). Other than that there is no real qualification. I pretty much just took the test and got hired a month after with no experience. And there also wasn't an interview which was good because I am terrible at interviews. For a tech you pretty much have to do everything such as order meds, fill the prescriptions, data entry, etc. Base pay is usually around $10 to $15 starting pay but you have to remember that I live in Texas. It is probably higher in areas such as California where the cost of living is higher. I got started at $11 but my friend who took a job at a pharmaceutical company is starting at $18.50.

You have to have a solid science GPA (3.5-3.6), and do decent on the PCAT. Plus you have to really like chemistry (especially organic chemistry and biochemistry). One of my friends from undergrad started pharmacy school this year, and she said a lot of her classes focus heavily on chemistry.

Also, professional school is no joke, you really to have to study your ass off pretty much everyday. I probably spend at least 3-4 hours every day studying outside of class.

Maybe I'll look into being a tech while I go to school then.

I'm not worried about that. However, I didn't really have to take any science classes for my undergrad, so I'm wondering how that will work. I'm gonna call them but I'm hoping I can just take some at the closest community college.

You can the extra classes at any college, you just have to check the required prerequisites for pharmacy school.

The good news for you is that you already have a degree, and will be going back to school to take extra courses. That will show admittance committees that you are dedicated and mature, both of which are important factors for admittance (maybe even more so than grades or test scores).

I just walked into Best Buy and bought one off the shelf today. Maybe I got lucky.
 
Newegg has the XB1 copy of Unity for $35. Not sure if anybody cares.

I'm considering grabbing a $50 PSN card and using the $15 off via Google Wallet checkout. Probably the best deal we'll see on those for a while.
