Are there any pharmacists out there? is it worth it??

Question

is this a great career choice? or too much work?

Answer 1

The actual work is very, very easy.  It's the studying and years of school that are difficult.  

Answer 2

From the US Bureau of Labor

Pharmacists must earn a Pharm.D. degree from an accredited college or school of pharmacy. The Pharm.D. degree has replaced the Bachelor of Pharmacy degree, which is no longer being awarded. To be admitted to a Pharm.D. program, an applicant must have completed at least 2 years of post secondary study, although most applicants have completed 3 or more years. Further training can include 1-year or 2-year residency programs or fellowships.

        The job itself is easy. Getting there is the tough part. Nothing worth doing comes easy though.

Answer 3

My uncle is a pharmacist. He usually works long hours on Mon-Thurs and then takes off Fri-Sun. He loves the job and it's nice to have a pharmacist in the family. The pay is good too so if money interests you then that's a bonus. :) But most importantly, be a pharmacist if that's what you want to do with your life. If you think that's what will make you happy then go for it!

Answer 4

PHarmicists are unique in what they do.  Most of them stand on a higher plank and will watch to make sure you aren't stealing any toothpaste or bandaids.  You must have a good eye.  Do you also have a passion for wearing white and shutting down the store on holidays, even when I have to come by and buy bandaids and toothpaste.  Do they think I dont' need them on holidays?????
