Just sayin

[Bettser]

I am currently a pharmacist.

Do you make 200k a year? Please tell her you don't make 200k a year.

[Bettser]

Well, I'm still doing studies alongside everything else, and not fully fledged so no lol. Not quite that much. I dont think you get up to those numbers until you either own a pharmacy, or have been doing it long enough.

Thank youuuu

Are we talking pharmacists like those ones that work in the little "shops" and hand out prescriptions? Because the ones near me I doubt make anywhere near that; they hardly do anything all day.

And by the time she graduates, all the pharmacy jobs will be filled up because everybody thinks it's their ticket to the big money.

I bet in 10 years I'll be making double your salary ;D

[Bettser]

Not even true. Every year they are making it increasingly more difficult and put more restrictions. Pharmacists have also acquired a lot more power then you would expect on prescriptions. Working almost parallel to doctors in the sense of prescribing.

I mean the real money goes to the people who develop and create the medicine.
All pharmacists really do is pass it out. I don't see why they should make so much money.
Never really sounded like too hard of a job at all to me. Just seems like busy work.

You're right. Except when you get 400 prescriptions a day and theres 3 people working.... its harder then you could imagine. Not all are like that (mine gets about 70-100 a day so no biggie). The real money is in developing medications, yes. That's actually what Im studying at the moment. Im in the basics of GLP/GMP, and such.
