Yes. I hope you love Chemistry too. But, you can make quite a bit of money in this career. Expect to make between $50-$100 thousand a year once your done with school.

A few years ago i would have agreed with your mother, but if you watch just 30 minutes of Tv a day, listen to the news or read a newspaper at least once a week... You're going to see, read, and hear about how the pharmacy world is now turned on it's ears with lawsuits for just about every drug out there.
Would you like to be named in a multi-million dollar lawsuit for dispensing, endorsing, distributing, or being part of the manufacturing process of any drug these days?
Just something to think about.

Pharmacy programs are not easy to get into or easy to get through, but if you do get a pharmacy degree, you'd have your choice of jobs and at a very good salary.
So it's a good idea for someone who likes math and science and is willing to study really hard.
Good luck.

Pharmacy is a great major, its very stressful. My sister went to school for that she got here Dr. in it and can support her family(ie. husband and child) partime. she is very happy with her decision. But if i liked math and chem. i would go back for it. i just was never really good in it.

Yes! I think it is a terrific choice. The need for pharmicists is great. As a pharmicist, you will be a part of one of the fastest growing (and highest paying) industries in the U.S.
