I am in 4th year right now at my current pharm school in Australia. Due to the bleek future prospects of pharmacists in Australia as well, (even much WORSE than US - please don't ask me why, as the story will go on & on; just PM me if interested) and ridiculously high cost of living here, I have made my final strong decision as a non-Aussie national to move to North America.
However, many of the posts I have read through here sounded quite discouraging. With possible soon-to-be-surplus of pharmacists in US and long-lasting recession, I am now unsure if I will even be able to get a vacancy after getting thru all the hurdles of becoming a US pharmacist.
This is what I'd really like to know:
So HONESTLY, where should I go? I heard Canada is also short of pharmacists but how is the job situation there compared to US?(in terms of salary, supply-demand, working conditions, stress, etc.)
Any helpful advice appreciated!(But I won't accept answers that insult/blame me for supporting the surplus)
