Hi all,
I've been doing some thinking lately. I know it's a bit too early for me to think about doing a PhD in Pharamcy, and I also know that doing a PhD in this specialised subject is usually funded but you get very little pay (£15-17k?) compared to a newly qualified pharmacist. The main issue that bothers me is that, after doing a PhD, does it mean :
1) It would be quicker for you to be promoted to a higher position, e.g. consultant/management level and your wage would eventually 'catch up' to those who did MPharm and started of as a pharmacist?
2) Nothing like the above, other than letting you to achieve a personal goal and if you discovered something during your PhD research, you could become rich by commercialising your 'product'.
3) Something else?
I would appreciate any opinions and thoughts that you may wish to share, no matter whether you've completed a PhD or not, I just hope someone could end my misery and make me happy again! me=
Thanks
