This is a good article I came upon that is a compilation of salaries of various college majors. It show's salaries and the unemployment rate for new grad's, experienced grads and graduate degree holders. Why they list pharmacy's unemployment rate ~2.5% nationally is somewhat misleading. I guess they take into account that if pharmacists can't find work, they should make one by opening up their own pharmacy.

I'm sorry but where do you see "pharmacy" on those charts? All I see is a general category for 'health' with recent graduate unemployment of 6.1%, Experienced college graduate at 2.6% and graduate degree holders at 2.0%.

It was buried in the slideshow.

One other tidbit: "Experienced college graduates of pharmacy, pharmaceutical sciences, and administration have an unemployment rate around 2.5%. This subset can then expect to make around $180,000 per year."

Excuse me? 😱 I'm not familiar with Business Insider, but on this statement alone it does not strike me as a credible source.

Maybe they mean experienced graduates of (pharmacy AND pharmaceutical sciences AND administration) which sounds like a dean or something like that.

You would know better than I, but I thought deans and admins make somewhere in that ballpark.

If you've got all three, the world is your oyster.

Deans make that much, if not more; the rest of the administration (Asst/Assoc Deans and Department Chairs) not so much.

Oh yeah! Didn't even look at the slide show the first time around. I agree, the source is not the most credible. Almost as credible as Forbes. LOL

I did work for PhDs in the science industry who made well over 180K. Some even made around 1.5M. It all depends on your skill set and what company you work for.

What sort of PhD did they have? They were doing real science?
