I would like to think pharmacy will allow me to be flexible - bring some money in whilst setting up a business in something totally unrelated...which I've always wanted to do but know that if I doesn't go to plan then I'll be in sainsburys all my life stacking shelves paying a loan off...I'm looking at pharmacy as a safety net even if I never ever set up a business. And no I'm not interested in running my own pharmacy at this very moment...
With the business side to it I will have to specialise within that area and not really interested in areas like hr, accounts, finance...
I hope it doesn't sound like the money i'm after! its the profession.
Yeah I did some work experience in community pharmacy it was okay...
Am sure I will curse myself one day (if I definitely choose to do this) but I personally feel every job has a 'bore' factor built within it, it just depends on your attitude towards it, how you deal with it and what you take out of it.

you have got some good reasons. go for it, there is nothing wrong to be after the money, but it should not be the only reason as you will simply get bored and leave the register.
the business degree might help you in efficently running a branch after qualifying, minimizing costs, maximizing profits...etc
if you are wondering about the content of the course, i managed to provide some answers under the "mature student" thread.
good luck, feel free to ask us all (students and pharmacists) about anything that concerns you
