Bitter Truth #6: If salary=value of job, then pharmacist=almost worthless

While I was browsing online for other career job opportunities, this ad showed up and caught my attention:


Online Gamers
PHP 20000 - 26000
National Capital Reg

Hooked to online gaming??

Want to work while playing at the same time??

Then this is the job that you're looking for!

Apply online or walk-in for immediate processing.

Pioneer account*

Package:

20K-22K + 2K + night diff

And I was like WHAT THE F***?!?!?!?!

And here are the requirements that you need to be eligible for the position:
  • Candidate must possess at least a Vocational Diploma / Short Course Certificate, Bachelor's/College Degree , Professional License (Passed Board/Bar/Professional License Exam), any field.
  • Fresh graduates/Entry level applicants are encouraged to apply.
  • 255 Full-Time positions available.
  • Applicants must be 18 years old and above.
  • Bring three copies of CV and a proper ID.

Seriously?! What the f***?!?!

So like, uh, I could just quit my job right now, be an online gamer with play as my work and have almost twice the salary of an average pharmacist? Sweet!
I should've known. All those years and money spent, all the blood (literally, the blood), tears and sweat and sacrifices I have given up for this profession that would provide me only half the salary of a position that requires no license, no particular college degree??!? Heck, I don't even need a college degree! This is just sad, I tell you.

I feel so broken-hearted right now.

So basically, if the salary is the reflection of the significance of our job, then compared to online gaming, our job is not so important, after all. You hear that pharmacists? Online gaming is more important than telling the patient that they can't take a Tetracycline with an antacid!

Why do we even exist? We're just a waste of tuition fees. Why don't they just replace us with robots? Oh wait, I know why – because we're much cheaper!


Reality does bite hard sometimes.
