as an incoming P1, all of the negativity online really makes me worry. i have worked as a tech in retail settings and can see myself working in retail as a pharmacist. i am concerned about job availability four years from now. i know a lot of retail companies treat their pharmacists very poorly and that more specialized jobs are very competitive. as someone who does not want to do a residency and wants to work retail, should i worry about job availability in general with all of the closures? is the profession really being threatened by AI? Like, won't it continue to be law that a pharmacist is required on site? Even with more people ordering mail order, there are still pharmacists doing that work, correct?
