Just curious.

What are some of the alternatives to working retail or in a hospital?

Forensics, not so much. Toxicology, very much so. Pharmacists are very commonly employed at poison control centers.

There's a sticky somewhere around here with other career options, I'd take a look. There are literally hundreds of career paths for a PharmD.

Scroll down a few posts. Some of the links may be dead, but you should be able to google off of that.

One reason I'm in pharmacy school is due to the Pharm.D's flexibility... I'm sure you could swing a forensics gig if you got a forensic science certificate from an accredited place, although the pay likely wouldn't support the debt from getting the Pharm.D.
