    need advice on studying pharmacy

    Hi,

    I am interested in studying pharmacy at University and just wanted to ask a few questions.

    What are the daily challenges that are faced by a pharmacist in community pharmacy?

    Is pharmacy a stable career, and in the current economic climate, is it relatively easy to find a job as a pharmacist, on completion of a degree in pharmacy?

    I would appreciate any replies. Thank you.

    Answers: Lots , No , Relatively.

    If you really want a stable career have you considered becoming a Jockey or Horse trainer?

    Pharmacy is not as transferrable as the other medical professions.

    Go for medicine, dentistry, ophthalmic optics before considering pharmacy.

    Big changes ahead with automation, re-skilling and such.
    Future a bit uncertain.
    Where am I?; In the Pharmacy.
    Who are you?; The new Number 2.
    Who is number 1?; You are number 6.
    What do you want?;..................
