It's always dangerous to get into a career just for the money. Changes in supply/demand can alter salary so I choose to just do what I love. I'll have enough to eat LOL!

there are no more pharmacist jobs. supply has overrun the demand

@HanaKimi4u And pharmacists aren't hardworking and honest? I work 10 and 12 hour days on my feet with no lunch break, limited bathroom breaks, and constant interruptions. It is a VERY demanding -- but rewarding -- career.

@dufortrph that's terrible. there's hardworking honest people who make half that. ugh

[Jefgg]

Shouldn't pharmacists who work in the USA be able to read and write English? Is that asking too much?

[neilzep]

stupid mindless profession,overworked and doing mindless super technician work. Most of the pharmacists I have worked with over 20 years hate the job. Money is not everything. School was a total waste of education.

@DjBrieon Junior in high school? Oh no sweetie you have time! I'm going into my sophomore year of college and I'm just starting to heavily consider pharmacy as a career. Take your time cuz you may end up changing your major later

@Jefgg That's what I hate about the internet, people grow a pair of huge balls and become blatantly racist, but never in blatantly in the general public.
