Hello, so I'm pretty nervous on making my plan in the future for Pharmacy major, and I have been asking around but still unsure on whether my plan would work or not.
I'm planning on attend local community college and finish what pre pharm courses require, which would probably around two or two and half year
Then I would apply to pharmacy uni that offer PharmD to get the degree in pharmacy doctorate, around 3 to 4 years approximately
After that I might getting a master degree
Then applying for jobs in hospital
I don't really know if this work or not, I'm still pretty unsure about my future path, so hopefully you guys would glad to spend sometime to help me out
Sorry for the bad English, I'm an international students so...
P/s: i'm planning to study and work in the state that I'm currently live in which is

I think your plan depends largely on what you plan to get your Masters in. If you are choosing something like Public Heath, Business, or Health Policy the masters might help if that is the direction you are headed in. If you are planning on something else, the it needs to be applicable to the job you want. If it isn't, no one will care and you are wasting time you could be in your career. A low paying residency would be more beneficial than a masters that you actually paid for if it isn't useful.

I'm planning to get a Master degree in Pharmacy, sorry for the unclear detail. And in General, I'm planning on working as a Pharmacist either working inside a hospital or open a retailing store.

Does anyone still offer a Masters degree in Pharmacy? I am really not sure that that kind of masters would be useful.

I think the closest thing your able to get is a Masters in Pharmaceutical Science. Which I think would only be beneficial if you wanted to go into a research field... not so much a clinical setting. I'm not sure though
