sorry dude.......I don't know where to even start. You do realize that Pharmacists don't MAKE drugs. Right?

It appears that you have two questions. First, you can own a pharmacy (that is not a chain). It is very expensive to start up and requires a lot of capital. It would be best for you to have a business degree in addition to your Pharmacist license.
As far as "making" drugs" thats a whole different ball of wax. You need to have a laboratory to do that. Most pharmacies have a lab that they use to mix or prepare compound drugs. Drugs that must be made at the time they are prescribed.
So I would suggest you figure out what you really want to do the most. Pharmacist make decent money. As an owner of a pharmacy store, you have to take into account all of the costs of operating a business. And it could take a few years to even be profitable at all. As a researcher in the pharmaceutical industry
you would also make good money. However, you would just about have to work for a company. It takes a lot of money and time to formulate drugs, test them, re-test them, and get them approved by the FDA.
Good luck to you!!

The first thing you need to do is figure out how you will pay for your schooling as becoming a pharmacist and or a researcher takes lots of schooling. Be sure you are getting very good grades in school as you will need those to get into a pharmacy program. You will not be able to even think about owning your own store after college unless you are rich beyond belief and don't owe any student loans for college.

wow
big dreams
you are in need for a lot of money to have your own pharmacy
if you are in USA it is hard to get your own
here most of them are big companies
but you have to graduate as a pharmacy student and then think about those dreams
happy future
