You may have a knack for science and think that you can put it to good use with a pharmacist career.  You are probably right.   If you like math, physics, biology and chemistry, this may be the best career for you.  To become a pharmacist, you will need to first get accepted into a pharmacy program with a good school.  Many universities have pharmacy schools that you may want to consider.

You will have had to have studied for about two years in biology, chemistry, math and physics.   You will probably have to take an entrance exam to get into the pharmacy program. Once you are accepted, you will study pharmacology and how drugs affect the body for four years.  You will study toxicology and pharmacy administration. 

Once you have completed your education, you will have to pass a national exam and a state exam.  Most pharmacists work in retail stores that have a pharmacy.  Salaries for a pharmacist career can range from $90,000 up to $130,000.  You will likely have to work some evenings and weekends in your early years as a pharmacist. However, the demand for the work is growing and in a rough economy being in demand is the best place to be.
