Very lucrative. They earn more than doctors during their internship. Pharmaceutical companies hire them. They also work in the hospitals though we DON'T need them. And they can open chemist shop

oh my Lord!,.. in as much as I'd like to be polite buh the way u asked that question pissed me off. The Jamb i wrote over 3yrs back is different frm the one u guys re writing.. i did ppt, u did cbt. The admission process then is different frm the one they use nw(in my school though)nd also my jamb score wnt secure u admission.Anyway, i was once in ur shoes xo I'd b polite. The main thing is wah i got in jamb doesn't matter. Though it's higher than wah u got buh I'd like to tell u dah it really depends on ur school of choice. You ll also ve to work on ur pume... Different schools ve different admission process... Here in my uni, the school's admission process doesn't require JAMB, just smash ur pume well buh it's nt dah easy though. In schools like oau, u ll ve to work more on ur pume in other to raise ur aggregate. Buh first of all I'd like to ask u, wah uni re u putting in for??... buh seriously speaking bro ur chances re still high, just select the right university. You can try UI though buh u ll need to prep well for d putme.. i used to b scared then too, no thanks to DIBU...put ur mind at rest bro... lol.

You realize that malpractice was much during days of paper and pen right?

its going well no carry over courses so far thnk God the stress is really something, pharmacy is a rewarding profession that requirs ur entire dedication so much to learn in such little time, you have situations of dear close friends falling by the wayside dats either repeating or being withdrawn sometimes you ask urself is the stress worth it can i still go on but everytime i go to induction of senoir colleugues and i see them in their glorious induction gowns and i hear dat music :stand up for the champions i feel renewed and dream of me being in their shoes so yes pharmacy is a challenging course but if ure disciplined, organized and dedicated u will surely suceed there.

Hehehe, theres good money in most aspects of Pharmacy just depends on your temperament. I just finished service i have a job already, i earn above 180 every month and i have a second source of income by virtue of being a pharmacist. So i think its cool. The other occupation earning more in health are doctors but they are very limited to a hospital while a pharmacist is not.
You're working in a hospital or as a superintendent pharmacist?

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.

As a pharmacists, you have options of field to practice.
Hospital as a clinical pharmacist
Community pharmacy also as a clinical pharmacist
Industrial pharmacy as regulatory pharmacist (responsible for registration and liaising with regulatory bodies), production pharmacist ( manufacture of drugs) or
sales and marketing responsible for selling, distribution and brand building.
There is also research and academics.
I am in sales and marketing, and I think it is the most lucrative and also most challenging.
NGO is also very lucrative for pharmacists, but not so easy to get like the others.
Pls inbox me your whatsapp number, I want to discuss with you.

This should do justice to the the topic. Straight out of Google and Wikipedia. Sometimes I wonder why Pharmacist never keep comparing themselves to doctors it's more like part of their training. Lolz. Pharmacy is a noble profession but they should know their boundaries. With all the comparison almost all pharmacist I know would kill for their kids to go to medical school and become a doctor. I have seen Pharmacist who have graduated and come back to study medicine. I'm yet to see a Doctor leaving medicine for pharmacy or cajoling their kids into pharmacy.
