What 'other' non-pharmacy...

[parjn]

Hey everyone, I was wondering what 'other' non-pharmacy type jobs someone with a PharmD could get hired in? For example, could someone with a PharmD get a job at a restaurant or start up a new business. Or get a job doing accounting or something?

If they got a degree or something in addition to their PharmD, what would give them the most prospects without taking into account massive debt? I'm just curious what would be said, because I'm sure there's more than things previously mentioned.

What does a PharmD have to do with working at a restaurant or starting a business?

You can become an HVAC pharmacist, apparently.

Pharmacy is already a very broad profession. Today, pharmacists don't just count pills and verify prescriptions. You can work in different settings like:
- Retail Pharmacy
- Hospital Pharmacy
- Health Insurances
- Academia
- Research
- Pharmaceutical Industry
- Consultant Pharmacist
- Clinical Pharmacy (often requires residency)

I know one pharmacist who is currently trying to go the clinical route, but she mentions that she never knew about the residency options before and would have rather just do a degree in medicine than.

Nice I saw some good variety answers. Working in a restaurant isn't related to a PharmD, but the question I asked was basically what non-pharmacy related stuff could you do if you happen to have a PharmD but aren't going to use it.
