if you want your pharmacist to have a doctorate.. only go to a pharmacist who has a doctorate.
other people might not give a shit, and instead just want someone who apprears trustworthy and dont want to have to pay extra just to fund someones college education.
freedom, people. freedom. stop being authoritarian and imposing your will upon others.
Sure, why not also just go to Physicians with a bachelors degree only or maybe one with a certificate in holistic medicine?
Standards of care keep improving and, due to such, the academic requisites that constitute the basic entry level for these careers keeps being raised.
Before, our children could have gotten educated by teachers with simply a bachelors degree. Today, in public schools they require a master's degree and teaching certification as well.
There is nothing wrong with this practice. We are evolving as a society and just as we evolve as people, so do our practices within the different disciplines (be it healthcare, law, science and education).
These academic requirements are not my ideas or even my view of an ideal society, but it is on par with the pace of an ever-growing society. You either adapt to this pace or stay behind working meager jobs.
In New York State, unless you have a Pharm Doctorate, you won't get hired to even work out of Walgreen's or rite aid.
