[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC wants to go into chemistry, with the ultimate goal of something like pharma/drug development or cosmeceuticals. Bad plan, considering everyone here seem to be saying Bio/chem have high unemployment levels? [/quote]
There's a shortage of pharmacists. [/quote]

Because of large corporations aggressively cornering the market to be exclusive prescription providers for large health insurance companies, pharmacists are increasingly overworked and micromanaged.

In the last 25 years, a bunch jf pharmacy schools opened and existing ones expanded their enrollment. It was something crazy like from 25,000 enrolled across the country to 50,000. So there went from a shortage to a glut of pharmacist.

For how much pharmacy schools cost and what you get paid plus the work conditions at so many pharmacies, totally not worth it. Maybe if you get a better job at a hospital or non-chain pharmacy it would be better, but it looks like a pretty miserable job.
