They make $45 an hour starting, and they are considered professionals so the employer doesn't have to guarantee them a lunch per 8 hours.
You can get a shift where you work 7 days in a row, then get 7 days off in a row.
I think that being a pharmacist is the one profession that isn't worth it as far as the stress-and-money ratio is concerned. You could go to law school or study some other area and become just as enlightened.
There is a nationwide shortage of them, and looking at how customers treat them, I can see why. It will, however, be a very job-secure occupation. You will be able to work in almost any country since most countries all sell the same drugs. So, it will make you mobile.
If I had $100,000 to plunk into college I would study journalism or creative writing, or even music. Being a "medicine man" is prestigious and lucrative, but not fun at all.

They have to go to college to get a PharmD. They need to be good in chemistry when they are in school. The pay is pretty good but the hours aren't usually from 9-5. Most hospitals and drug stores are open 24-7. As the population ages and the pharmaceutical companies come up with more drugs to keep us ticking, there will always be a need for them.
