I'm gonna be rich when I grow up

Pill pushing Pharmacists (Managers) make a set salary of 101.5k a year.
Pill pushing traveling pharmacists (Managers of multiple Pharmacies) make $50 an hour plus gas mileage.
Pill developing pharmacists make 101.5k+ a year, depending on experience and demand.
Clinical Pharmacists also make 101.5k+ a year, depending on available research funding.
Those pharmacists who mix pills for certain patients due to intolerance to certain drugs in their manufactured form make an ungodly amount of $ + a stable job. (they're like the orthodontists of dentistry, but in pharmacy terms)
This all can change if you own your own pharmacy. Then more rules and licensing, funding, comes into play. So you can make it big, or you can make it decent.

However, I'm a toxicologist.
The other side of pharmacy, Pharmacy kids frown upon us, because we're the "low lives" of pharmacy school.
We start out at 70k a year
BUUUUT...
But our window of opportunity is more open, and we can do more. As in work for a wider variety of companies.
Chemical, Pharmaceutical, or anything that's potentially harmful.
Also, instead of a Pharm.D. we can get a Masters or a Ph.D.
You can teach with a masters or a ph.d, you can't teach with a pharm.d.
I'm getting a Ph.D. which is the highest degree obtainable.
And from there you can get more little clubs added to your name, as if you went and got certification from the Society of Forensic Toxicology, or Pharmaceutical Development and Research.

All in all, who gives a damn, it's your life, make of it as you wish.
You're the one who has to settle your life's ambitions. Regardless of income.

I work with a pharmacist who does make upwards of 200k a year. One of the others has his PHD but is closer to retirement, and does research on the side making quite a lot more then 101.5K. I think it goes back to what I said, the experience will pay upwards of that set amount.
