Dear JK,
I guess it is all about the choices one makes in their careers. Did anyone twist your arm to become a grad student? I suspect you made the decision to get a higher education in exchange for free tuition, housing etc. Were these choices and benefits not explained to you or any other grad student up front? Is is possible that you misunderstood the job requirements?
As for the pharmacist who has to stock shelves. He/she made the choice to be a retail pharmacist, most likely because of the fixed working schedule and the lack of stress relative to a hospital pharmacist who as you know does a lot more than simply counting pills and reading poor handwriting.
They make more than a retail pharmacist because they do more. I guess that just about sums up the working world. Those who produce more and because an integral part of an operation make more money.
Those who do less, make less. What's wrong with that.
Any worker has the right to go to the bank, take out a loan, mortgage the house etc. to start their own venture. They then control their own destiny. If someone wants to work for me at the wage and benefits that I offer, than welcome aboard. If they can find better opportunity elsewhere than I will be the first to wish them well.
My workers are paid based on what they produce. Anyone who does not cut it, gets fired. This is the way any going concern works, but you probably already learned that in school.
My suggestion to you is to get a real job, if the working conditions are not to your standards. If not, then shut up and get back to work.
