Guitar Pick Story #114: Future pharmacist
Today I was examining an 18 year old young man who told me he was in his first semester of pharmacy school. Naturally I corrected with “you mean pre-pharm, right?”
“Nope! I took college classes all the way thru high school and every summer, so I had enough hours to be admitted to pharmacy school!” When I pulled my chin up off the floor, I commended his accomplishments and said, “ Guess you don’t have much time left over for hobbies like guitars and such?” “Oh, but I do love guitars! I just picked up a D-15 for just $500!” “You have a Martin D-15 mahogany?” So then I went on to tell him about my D-15, the neck reset, and giving it to my son. We bonded over several of my guitar pick stories, and of course I gave him a pick! So today I learned that geniuses can love guitars as much as me. I felt my IQ go up a point or two right then and there! |

I can relate. I have a degree in Pharmacy but don't consider myself a genius. I took the long route, going through undergrad first, then post grad to get my degree.
Thanks for sharing. |

Nice story! Thanks for sharing.
Morale of the story: Playing guitar helps one get better grades and improves motivation!

I have a friend who went this route in the 90’s. Most of her class had a 4 year degree. She got in after 1 year of college. Saved 3 years of tuition (on average) and was working that much earlier.
