money?

[art0734]

I was wondering how much do pharmacists make hourly on an average by working at places like savon, rite aid, etc... also if there is anywhere else a pharmacist can work to make more and how much it will be on an average, again hourly.

On average I'd guess retail pharmacists make about $50/hour.

Most pharmacists are on salary, not hourly. But the average, at least in colorado, is ~70-90K a year. Which some people who are store managers and such can make 110K.

If your only concern is money, then get involved in Industry. I know of some people who also just work as consultants to drug companies and such and they make a lot more than just a regular pharmacist in a chain store or hospital. Just do more research. Pharmacy is a field with a LOT of opportunities. The ones that make the most money aren't directly working with the patient population.
