    why kick yourself in the nuts twice if you plan to only work as an AA? pharmacy school and AA school arent that cheap either.

    as you probably know the degree in pharmacy (PharmD) takes at minimum 5 yrs (if you can find an accelerated 3yr program that will accept you after the minimum 2yrs of prereqs), otherwise the norm is anywhere from 6-8yrs, as many applicants do not get in until after completing their BA/BS degree.

    I am obtaining a BS in Respiratory Care this summer. I plan to work in a pediatric ICU for 2-3yrs before applying to AA school.
