Not blaming Forbes for this one- they are reprinting it from CareerCast (a job search website).
http://www.forbes.com/sites/susanadams/2014/12/04/the-best-healthcare-jobs-in-2015/
And what do they have to say about pharmacy? After trodding out the BLS predictions, the publisher of CareerCast (Tony Lee, a former Wall Street Journal staffer who should know better) offers these gems:
- While the pharmacists at my local Duane Reade appear to toil under fluorescent lights on their feet for eight-hour shifts while demanding and sometimes desperate customers plead for medication advice to help them with constipation and sleeplessness, Lee insists that most pharmacists get satisfaction from helping patients, and have “a lot of freedom and flexibility in the job.”
- He says the vast majority of pharmacists work in hospitals
- Lee adds that the profession is growing as many people in the career approach retirement age and fewer people study to become pharmacists, opening up jobs.
I don't believe I will be going to CareerCast for sound advice anytime soon.
Have fun, SDN...
