Besides Retail, what other jobs can a pharmD get you?

Besides Retail, what other jobs can a pharmD get you? What is the pay for these jobs? If anybody knows, I'd greatly appreciate a post. I'm undecided whether to pursue retail because of the money or a lab job with a pharmD.

First off, you shouldn't be getting into pharmacy just for the money. Second, you have to find where you want to go in pharmacy based on what interests you and what you have a passion for. You really won't solidify these thoughts until you experience them. If you choose one area over another based on higher pay, you might not like that area and will then be miserable in your work which will spill over into your personal life as well.

Now retail typically pays the most, but of course there are exceptions to that rule. The salaries for other fields (like hospital) are starting to get closer to retail ones. The amount you make will depend on the city you live in.
