Think about what your passions are. Does being a pharmacist really motivate you?
You may want to talk to some pharmacists, and/or talk to the career center of a college that has a pharmacy school. You should find out more about the profession to determine if this is what you really want to do before you spend a lot of time and money pursuing this career.
I'm not sure what state you're in, but most states have state universities with colleges of pharmacy. Going to school in-state at a state university would be your most cost effective option. If you're still in high school, check with your guidance counselor to see what scholarship opportunities might be available for you.

Yea, pharmamcy is a good choice. That is what I wanted to take but realized you have to be really good at chemistry and all sciences and all the schools I looked into, they had huge waiting lists for pharmacy and you needed a minimum 80% high school average to even be considered. I think the programs I looked at were 6-8 years long if I remember. If you wanted to got to school for a shorter period of time I think pharmacy technicians make a descent wage and most programs are only 2 years long.

A friend of mine just finished school to be a pharmacy tech. They make decent money and if she can do it... hell anyone can quite honestly.
