Pharmacy my dear Pharmacy!!!
Every parent wants his child to read pharmacy nowadays cos it's lucrative,the day of our induction igbo Men came in to look for female pharmacist to get married to so they can use their license to import and export drugs.it wasn't a bed of roses though,i remember the tension of pre-qualifiying exams and professionals,the cramming of structures,the reading of vague things which were incoherent cos we couldn't see most of them.
Thank God dose days are all over.i started working before I was inducted into the Pharmacist council of Nigeria. Without a certificate and a license,and I was earning more than most bankers.i went ahead to do my internship at Federal Neuropsychiatric hospital lagos,was also working in a community Pharmacy in the evening.anyone who knows Federal Neuropsychiatric hospital Lagos knows it's the Highest Paying for Pharmacy interns throughout the country.as an intern Pharmacist( A Pupil Pharmacist) I was earning more dan 200k in a month from my 2 jobs.after my one year internship I proceeded to do my Nysc. I was posted to Lagos "don't ask me how I got lagos"!!i served in an health centre in eti osa locaal government in the morning and in the evening I go to my community Pharmacy I was close to 200k with all my allowances from FG which is the 19,800 local government which pays 30k and my dear community Pharmacy that paid me the largest chunk of my salary I won't tell u how much I earned from my Pharmacy but all my allowance for the month was close to 200k. I bought my first car during my internship and also rented an apartment on my own with my money.with no assistance from my parents. Now am done with service I got another Job in one of the Chain Pharmacies in Nigeria.ever since I graduated I've been smiling to the bank. Alert has not stopped entering my account.
My license was paid for and put in use by my company apart from my monthly salary.
And the opportunities are enormous u can grow,have ur Pharmacy,decide to import drugs, go into politics.being a Pharmacist makes u street wise.cos uve been tutored informally under so many aspects
Business administration,marketyn. In Abroad Pharmacist are one of the highest Paid professionals u cud switch over and go practice there. Just a few exams to convert you and enable u practice dere

I gave this little epistle for young ones who are confused of a career choice.Pharmacy is one u won't regret. It's a stepping stone to greater achievements.so if u feel u have what it takes give it a shot and follow ur dream.i feel fulfilled adding value to the life's of my patients and for them cuming back to thank me that the drug I gave them worked.makes me feel I ddnt make a mistake reading Pharmacy.

Mind you the profession still has some short comings as no profession is 100 percent without hazzles.but the future is bright for young Pharmacist.

Liar! Pharmacology itself is pharmacy. Other aspects of pharmacy are packaging.

To some it's small, but to me it's huge. my elder sis is currently earning #320 000(monthly) with an official car +driver. started working there 2 months ago. and they(others who passed the interview) went on two weeks training, all sponsored by the company.

it's a really lucrative business/career. I've not seen any pharmacist earning less than 120k.

lonelydora:
Very lucrative especially in the North. I don't know about any aspect, but when you grad, open a shop and make your money.

Imagine ordinary vitamin C is one for N5. Money dey that biz. I swear.

Oliviaarims:
Pharm. D...35k? That's very hard to believe.

AntiIPOB:
Don't mind her,I know more than five that received less than 50k here,no be naija we dey.
Meanwhile,I just open my chemist last month with just 350k,cos I know in and out of the business,but without experience,don't go in,there is difference between serving prescription and selling drugs,failure to know this two,don't waste your money.

Don't mince your words. It's not hard to believe. It's a lie.

Very profitable profession. You can hardly find a jobless pharmacist unless he or she is physically incapacitated and unable to work.
There are a lot of job opportunities for a pharmacist.

psalm121vs1:
Its either you re not being completely honest or u were just lucky and I will give u facts
1.as a pharmacist you re not allowed to register more than one shop..if you want to own another shop you must hire another pharmacist
2.if u work in any government establishment. .u re not allowed to register a shop
3.there re so many unemployed pharmacists in the country which is why some of them re sales rep to men with capital
4.the salary scale of an entry pharmacist is grade 10 which is the same as a graduate with any professional certificate to his cv
5.a pharmacist can earn better in a pharmaceutical industry just like an english graduate can higher in if he or she works for the un
6.if u dont have passion for Pharmacy. .u will be miserable
7.the golden age of making serious profits from the pharmaceutical industry re over as there re more strict rules now unlike when u can just without the problem of nafdac which is why men like juhel and orange re seriously diversifying

IZANAMI:
ignorance at its peak.clinical pharmacy and pharmacy administration, Pharm chem,pharmaceutical microbiology,pharmacognosy,drug research and production, neuropharmacology all of which are apparently branches of pharmacy entail only packaging?
IGNORANCE!don't say what do know nothing about,you're only displaying how ignorant and unintelligent you are publicly sir!!

RALPHOW:

Manseydour:
Bro, I ain't a knight and every subspecialties you mentioned are in pharmacology.
I have an advice for you. Go and buy a standard pharmacology textbook and read it up from front to back, after you have done that, you'll be intelligent and you'll learn to not call others unintelligent or ignorant.

rufychuks:
What do you mean by '' we dont need them''?

IZANAMI:
lol!How unintelligent can one be?Seriously,are you this dull or it's just a public stunt.lwkmd!Pharm micro,Pharm chem and pharmacognosy are subspecialties of pharmacologyjoke of the year.This is the dullest post I've ever seen online.
Judging by your comment,I presume you're a pharmacologist.Eh yaaah!No be my fault say dem deny you nah.
abeg,make person help me educate this guy nah,ain't gat type to be typing chronologies and stories jareh!!

Manseydour:
All they do is sell drugs to patients in hospitals on presentation of prescription notes given to em by doctors. They neither prescribe nor deliver the drugs. Anybody with ssce or other higher degrees can do that.

Manseydour:
ain't gat type to be typing chronologies and stories jareh!!
Ain't gat time to be correcting grammar jare

eleojo23:
The salary for some may not be as impressive as you would expect but no pharmacist that knows his onions will settle for 50k per month. He can do that as a side job but that would not be his only job. In a federal hospital, their salary is not less than 120k for entry level and even in big community pharmacies, 100-120k is usual the benchmark for a superintendent. It can even be as high as 200k.
Do a quick search on on pharmacy vacancies and see the proposed salaries for pharmacists.

Lets not even begin to talk about medical reps for these multinational pharmaceutical companies. Those ones earn big.

Timolanki:
oga, pharmacy is comprised of 6 departments of which pharmacology is one of them. Infact, pharmacology was one of my easiest department then unlike pharmaceutical chemistry dat dealth wif us.

i heard so,those sales reps earn big,but there's no job security.

UNN right?

Timolanki:
yeah! Super lion.

IZANAMI:
So many unemployed pharmacist??Sir,I haven't seen any jobless pharmacist,you can never be unemployed as a pharmacist,you can only be underemployed that which is quite rare.All the denigratory points you cited have no claims to validate it sir,you obliviously and ignorantly enumerated the cons without making mention of the pros.
You even went to the extent of juxtaposing a pharmacy grad with an English graduate? Oga how far,who does that?
Of course the entry level for a pharmacy grad after nysc is CONHESS level 10.if I'm not mistakened,A b.sc nurse grad is on CONHESS level 8 not to even mention the auxiliary nurses.
At the internship level,you're placed on a salary scale of CONHESS level 9 obviously higher than a B.sc nurse grad which is quite unfair.
I suppose you're not new to the fact pharmacists are the next paid after doctors in terms of salary scale.
some of your points are quite drab,insipid,unintelligent,myopic and shallow sir!!i'll term it a misconception of facts.
No offence intended sir!

ukjerry:
Dude, read my English and mind your language. I said "I'VE" not seen nor come across. YOU on the other hand have seen.., Okay, Good.
Again, it all boils down to environment. pharmacists I know works in Lekki, Ikoyi and V. i, Hence, the huge pay.
