Im thinking of obtaining an online degree for education and to become a pharmacy. Do you think my chances of finding employment will be slim since I would have obtained a degree online?

Colleges of pharmacy have prejudice against brick and mortar community colleges, and so, they will probably have prejudice against online only colleges. A lot of people do not consider getting a degree from an online college to be a real degree. Also, pharmacy prereqs require lab courses, and online colleges cannot give that to you.

You mean, a Pharmacist.
A pharmacy is a store for medications.
It really isn't looked down upon, because all they tend to look at is the degree, itself.
Good luck! I really hope you follow through with this. An education really helps in the job market.

Only if the University issuing the degree is not respectable. Dozens of reliable universities offer online. The diploma does not state that it is online. One can, in fact, go to the college and walk in the graduating line if one wishes. Google for respectible colleges and universities. Watch out for the degree mills in California where you pay your money and get a degree without working for it. The legitimate colleges' coursework is very, very difficult if one is not driven and selfmotivated. Also, expensive.

Generally: It depends on the university and the corresponding program. Some correspondence schools are seen as little more than “paper mills”. Certain subject matters are believed best conducted in “live” session with regular contact hours with an instructor. Most on line / correspondence courses affiliated with a traditional “brick and mortar” institution generally seen as reputable.

Well, I don't think it would be looked down upon but your grammar might. I'd love to see someone try to become a pharmacy.
