Finally, just a little bit of knowledge i picked up from the BPSA conference this year: We had a visit from an american Pharmacy student. And i think she said that British Pharmacists have to do a two year conversion course to be able to practice legally in the US. The exact details of what needs to be done elude me so it may well be worth looking at the link JohnEp posted.

Check out Jim Plagakis website for the situation in US Community Pharmacy. They report f/t salary offers of USD 200,000 (?) The best option seems to be work out how much you need to earn then work those hours and have a great life outside of pharmacy! Of course healthcare, schooling and such do have a cost.
