Hi,

I am currently based in the UK with a UK pharmacy degree and 3 years community pharmacy experience. My husband has recently been offered a job in Michigan in the US. I have read all the articles about how to become licensed to work there etc.

My husband's visa will not allow me to work there, simply live there with him. I would need to get an employer to sponsor me to work. Ideally I would like to work part time in community pharmacy (2-3 days/week). Does anybody know of anyone who has done this successfully? My worry is that it is unlikely that I would be sponsored to work part-time. An employer would want you to commit to full time if they are to go to the expense of sponsoring you.

Also, I know this is probably on this forum somewhere else but what are the rates of pay like in the US compared to the UK. What are the hours like? I guess a lot of the large chains are open late or even 24hrs? Is it tricky to get a 9-6?

I would be grateful for any advice.

Thanks
