wrong.

the pay is only good if you buy and run your own pharmacy, then you can earn between 70-100k a year. otherwise you'll be lucky to earn about 65k a year.

a friend of mine earns $45 an hour and works about 50-65 hours a week, just graduated (been working for last 4 years at the same place tho)

seems like decent money.

wow $45... thats insane. a lot of senior pharmacists dont get paid that much.
and yeah another crap thing about pharmacy is the hours. 50-65 hours a week is intense.

wee bit more complicated than that. (from my perspective) learning all the generics and house brands takes a while.
