How much do pharmacists make a year?

Is it hard to become a pharmacist? If you study 4 years under the pre-med route, and have a 3.0 gpa, can you get into a pharmacy school? Is it tough-educational wise- in pharmacy school. Once out of pharmacy school, are you prepared to work as a pharmacist with a title of Doctor of pharmacy? Need help, completed 4 years of pre med education but didn't get into medical school, what other options are there for me now? Pharmacy is what people are telling me, is it true? Thanks!

1. In the US, pharmacy school is a 6 year doctorate degree. It is wide ranging education with physiology, pharmacologic organic chemistry, pharmaceconomics, and medicinal chemistry. The job options once leaving are amazing with the majority of grads going into either hospital or retail (walgreens CVS). retail pharmacists make more than hospital with the national average of about $104,000
2. Bob, Pharmacy is a great profession and growing one too. In the next 20 years, there is going to be a massive shortgage of pharmacists. And as you already know, the higher the demand = the higher the salary. Check out the pharmacy profession. There are many advantages. They are: 1) Takes less time to finish 2) You can start a family and maintain it and see your kids everyday 3) Most jobs are 9-5 4) Starting salary is 75-150K depending on location 5) One of the most trusted profession in the US 6) Very flexible working schedule 7) You still get to be involved in a patient;s life Good Luck with your decision!
