.......This isn't the thread for this type of discussion (just kidding, all SDN threads are the place for this type of conversation), but let me answer you in with a metaphor. Have you ever spilled water on the floor? Well at the point of contact there is lots of water, but, as you may have noticed, water has this ability to migrate, or flow, to other areas aside from where it was directly poured. Pharmacists are like this water. They may be concentrated in big cities right now, but they will flow/migrate to more rural areas. You are an absolute fool to think that just because you are in a rural area you will have job security. I saw that graduating pharmacists are going to be up to 15k/year soon. So that is 60,000 pharmacists that will hit the work force (or unemployment line) before you are even done with school. Do you think that is sustainable? If you do...well....apply to pharmacy school. PS. I live in a very rural area. How do you think I got here? I migrated here from a bigger city....
