Pharmacist

Duties and Responsibilities: Pharmacists compound, or prepare, prescriptions written by physicians, dentists, and other practitioners. They review the prescriptions to see if they are accurate and they prepare the medication. This involves weighing, measuring, and mixing other drugs. Once compounds are prepared they then distribute them to the customers and patients.

They answer questions about drugs they are taking and drugs they are taking and drugs which can be sold over the counter. Sometimes, pharmacists take inventory and order drugs they are low on.

They work in hospitals, clinics, health departments, universities and grocery, drug, and discount stores.

Salary: $33,000-$51,000

Education:
Students should take the most challenging high school classes available in English, science, and math. All pharmacists must graduate from a college of pharmacy.  Most pharmacy schools require applicants to take the Pharmacy College Admissions Test, and some require up to two years of pre-pharmacy education.  Other colleges will admit students directly from high school. 

Normally it takes at least five years to earn a Pharmacy Degree.  To earn a Doctor of Pharmacy degree, requires at least six.  

Reflection: I would not like to be a pharmacists because I would want to be more than that.
