I've always wanted to study pharmacy as a course in the university . I wasn't given the first time I tried because I didn't pass the cut off mark. I tried again with last year's JAMB,but I didn't meet with the cut off mark by 0.4 mark and I was given pharmacology. I don't know if I should go for it since I don't know how marketable the course is or how easy it is to to get a job after school.
Nairalanders,advice me on the prospects of the course so I will know if I should try another JAMB or go for it. Thanks in advance.

There might be job prospects and good salary potentials in the UK and US, I don’t know about Nigeria. It looks like they make up to £72K annually in the UK, and up to $100K or more in the US. Of course it all depends on experience, company and other factors. Do your own research

Yeah if you’re into research consider pharmacology.

You can study it, do your masters in abroad hopefully with scholarship and then be a researcher there.

But you can most likely get the scholarship in USA if you were having very high grades in your undergraduate degree.

Goodluck
