Why doesn't your pharm tech school set you up a job shadow so you can talked to a pharmacist and see for yourself? Or you could just set one up on your own.

Pharmacist lifestyle is very similar to the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Houses, cars, jets, fans and drugs...

I can answer questions 1-3.

#1 - Yes and no. The material is not that hard but there is a lot of material. You're going to have to decide which classes to study for and which classes to kinda ignore.

Personally, this semester I can tell already that most of my studying is going to be for Pathology, Pharmacology/Therapeutics/Pharmaceutics.

I already know I'm almost never gonna look at the material for Epidemiology/Biostatistics. I'm willing to get a C/D in that class if it means I'm getting As in Pathology and Pharmacology/Therapeutics. Pharmacy Law/Ethics, it is pretty much a class that I can go to lecture and not have to review after class.

#2 - Nope.

#3 - I have a life, I work a little on the weekends, hang out with my friends on Sunday, and I study 5-10 hours a day in a hookah (smoking) lounge (I'm not bothered by the loud music, I have nice headphones to counter with my own music, main distraction is when some hot girls come in, or when the owner turns on the Xbox.)

To OP, please do not double post. You have the same thread in the Pre-Pharmacy board.

I suggest you spend some time and read past threads and search around the boards. Many of the questions you asked have been discussed or you'll have a general good idea of what and how pharmacists and students live, study, etc.
