Are pharmacist jobs still coming about now, what is the pay like for pharmacists compared to dentists. I heard that pharmacist jobs are scarce in the states these days.
 
dude, do a search, there are plenty of threads on jobs.
Also check out career websites to look at current job listings( pay rates).
Also if you are trying to pick a profession based on pay.... that is not the best method. If you have an interest in dentistry then evaluate it on its own merits before you consider money. Do the same for pharmacy. For example:
Dentists(DDS) doctor of dentil surgery?, work only in a patients mouth. Pros you know it never changes. con: you work in someone’s mouth.
pro: you get to pull teeth, con: you must have a certan level of manual dexterity and depth perception.

However again I see a lot of people evaluating careers based on money. Personally I weighted the profession pros and cons before I chose with money being the LAST factor.

Just the thoughts of a soon to be SP1 pharmacy student.

I heard that Alaska still has some jobs left. Someone I know has a friend whose friend's friend got a job there and not only got a $25k sign-on bonus but also gets a private jet to fly back to see their family whenever they want. The salary was only $523k annually though, but you only work 12 weeks out of the year so it evens out.
