Can anyone give input on how extra degrees, MS, and MBA affect the initial salary offer?

On graduation I will have at least 2 years of retail pharmacy experience, a MS (hard science like chemistry), MBA, and my PharmD. Thanks.

Retail is the highest paying entry level and you will get nothing extra. Personally I don't like to see too many degrees without much work experience. It makes me think the person doesn't like to do real work.

Thanks for the input. I will also use this line in the future when I see pharmacy residents except replace degrees with residency.

Except residency is work experience...

You won't get anything extra for your degree. Same salary offer for any new grad. Your chance climbing the ladder might be higher than a pharmacist without MBA but to start off, you will make the same as everyone else.

Thanks, I appreciate the insight, that sucks though.

residency isn't a degree. the whole point of doing residency is to get the experience.

That's why I think it's a scam, because if it's just "experience" then people shouldn't be taking huge pay cuts to get experience.
