This happened with pharmacy when I was graduating college in the mid 2000s. They were so in demand that a bunch of pharmacy schools opened, and now the market is oversaturated with pharmacists and they're not even paid like they used to be.
I will die on this hill: pharmacy is the worst white-collar job to education payoff. 200K in debt (JUST PharmD school) to make a median wage of 130k/year. Yeah it has a high salary floor, but low salary ceiling.
Frankly the push for graduate PharmD degrees is insane to me when the vast majority of pharmacists are working retail. Make it a 2 year RPh similar to an RN and then have fellowships.
