I'm a pharmacist. This job is worthy. Good money. 4 years to complete my bachelor degree in pharmacy and 3 years in diploma level in university. Join pharmacy.

@hellocama no I don't go to nightclubs. I'm more mature than that. I have 3 kids and a life. I can get drunk, if I want to, at home with my wife and not need a person over 21 to help. Thanks for the smartass answer.

I'm pre pharmacy in college. I'm almost 30 yrs old and going back to school.

you don't have to be good at math, but as long as you manage to get a good grade in your cal class. That should do it. But you have to be very good at Biology and Chemistry. Talking about chem, I mean Organic Chemistry, which is not an easy subject to study. Many people give up their goals or dreams of becoming a pharmacist just b/c they can't pass that class. This class is definitely a weed out class for those who are incompetent.

@tkrulez297 i replied to you because i just had an interview at a pharmacy school. if you are only a sophomore in high school right now, pharmacy school is still a bit ahead of you. You won't have a clue what pharmacy school is gonna be like until you have had done some time in your freshman in college. Since many high schools have varied difficulty in their standards, it's far too early to judge how you will handle it.

i probably guessed that, however, would you say its no different than regular college life? For example, same amount of studying and the topics are not hard once you study every day. Also, being a sophomore student in high school, if noticed that i enjoy learning about chemistry and geometry. Do you think this might help me stay interested in the topics taught in pharmacy school?

@tkrulez297 it's easy actually if you dedicate your time.

[tkrulez297]

Is pharmacy school harder than medical school? if so by how much? (rate each by a 1-10, 1 being easiest, 10 being hardest)
