From the transcript
All right, well, hello everyone. My name is Maisie again. I am a licensed pharmacist. A little bit about myself, I went to high school in the Matsu Valley at Career Tech and I graduated and I immediately went into more of like a pre-med, I guess you could say, or pre-pharmacy track because I didn't get a bachelor's degree. So I was able to complete my 7— it's 72 credits that were required for my specific program for pharmacy school, so I was able to complete those in 3 years just working with the counselors there, like at the college.
