I said that when I picked my undergrad. The amount of damage that institution did to me is something I would not wish on anyone. Elite schools kill your person.

I just got through with schooling (I also went to an “elite” school) and honestly once you’re out, its nice to say, hey, I did it. I got my degree despite it all.
And you know what? Therapy helped rebuild myself. Many feel like you when they’re in it, but are too afraid to admit it

$10,000 x 4 years is not a crazy, horrific number compared to a pharmacists salary. Over a standard 10 year repayment plan, it is ~200 more per month compared to the other school, while you could easily expect to earn $5000 a month after taxes and benefits. Within two years of graduation, nobody cares what school you went to.
Everyday, I am seeing a new pharmacy, whether stand-alone or in a grocery store, being built somewhere, and each one will need at least two full time pharmacists, so the field is still growing. Two opened within 5 miles of me in the past few years, and I live in a small town.
The finances and relative prestige should not necessarily be your driving factor. Consider the cost of not finishing your studies. If you only complete say two years of study, you will still have tens of thousand of debt to pay off. If the individual attention at the smaller school provides a significantly increased chance of completing your studies, the extra tuition, from a risk assessment perspective, may be worth it to you.

Which ever one can give you the title of Doctor and help you get board certified. Looks like you are going towards option 2. Consider the military or government for a position. Or, doctors without borders.
