Pharmacy is still considered a good career choice. If you like to serve people, it is an ideal career. If you have the correct academic requirements and of course a license to practice, you are likely to find work earning a good salary even if you have little or no previous work experience. A career in pharmacy is probably still a good bet, a little like a good sports bet.

The job of a pharmacist involves dispensing prescribed medicines to patients and providing information concerning their safe use of them. Pharmacists can find work in hospitals and clinics, pharmacies, supermarkets, and often now in some general stores.

Studying to become a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm D) takes around 4 years to complete. Following this, a further number of tests will need to be passed in order to receive the recognized license to practice.
