pharmacy school?


Hello. I am currently in pharmacy school after just three years of undergraduate. The university I attended offered a pre-pharmacy program that allows its students to just complete pre-requisites in order to get into its pharmacy school. As a result, I don't have a bachelor's degree. As long as I met a certain GPA and fulfill all of the pre-requisites as well as pass the interview and writing sample, I was able to get in.
Now that I am in, I have to admit that it has been extremely overwhelming. After getting to know some of my fellow classmates, I am starting to feel that I am not prepared yet to start pharmacy school since many of them have worked in a pharmacy or at least held a job. I have never held a paying job before. The only thing I have done was some volunteer stuff in high school. There are still a good amount of people who haven't worked in a pharmacy before, but I still feel that many of them are a lot more prepared than I am.
I've heard from some recent graduates that some were having a hard time finding a job right away. With my current resume, I don't see how I will stand out from anyone else. So, I was wondering if it would be a good idea to defer a year and get a pharmacy technician license to get some experience to boost my resume. At the same time, I don't want to feel like a quitter when things get tough. What do you think I should do? Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you!
