           Pharmacist
Duties and Responsibilities:

They compound and/or prepare prescriptions that are written.  Pharmacists review the prescriptions to validate their accuracy and then prepare them. Preparing the medication may involve weighing, measuring, and mixing drugs.  Once they are prepared they dispense them to the customers and patients. They answer any questions the customer and patient may have on the drugs they are taking or drugs that are sold over the counter Pharmacist may also be responsible for taking inventory on the drugs on the shelves and order any drugs they are low on. Pharmacists may work in hospitals, clinics, health departments, universities, and grocery, drug, and discount stores.

Average Salary: $33,000 - $51,000

Education:

Students who would like to become a pharmacist should take the most challenging high school courses (including AP or IB) available in science, math, and English. All pharmacists must graduate from a college of pharmacy. Some pharmacy schools require you to have two years of pre-pharmacy education while other colleges admit students right after high school.  It usually takes six years to earn a pharmacy degree and six to earn a doctor of pharmacy degree.


I don't think I would like to become a pharmacist because it really doesn't interest me and it seems too boring for me.
