[quote=Anonymous]Have several good friends who are pharmacists. In general, they say retail pays the best but depending on where you are doing it, the hours can be grueling with lots of nights and weekends (though that schedule works well for some), and the work demanding. Hospitals, outpatient clinics, nursing homes and similar settings may in some cases pay less than retail; but some pharmacists feel they get more variety in their role, as they get to do more education instead of 100% dispensing. As a PP mentioned, there are also interesting roles doing research. So yes, overall the pay is decent, and there is some variety in the direction you can take with your career; but you need a PharmD, and satisfaction can vary depending on what you are looking for and where you are working.
