[QUOTE="RedlineAccord, post: 4096881, member: 571503"] You are very misinformed my friend. Ever hear of patient counseling? Pharmacists are used in many more settings than you think. There is a lot more to having a PharmD than just being a retail pharmacist. The new thing is that patients and clients meet with a pharmacist who goes over their medication history and forms of therapy. You'd be surprised how little some of these doctors know about the medications they prescribe besides what they do. Pharmacists are much more informed on the reactions the medications can have within a patients body or with other medications the person is currently taking. Also, as I said, as the population grows, and people grow to older ages, there will be a greater need for pharmacists due to the amount of medications prescribed. We all know the crazy amounts of new medications being produced by pharmaceutical companies each year too. With the amount of schooling required, the specific knowledge needed, and constantly rising need I don't see the wages being slashed at all. [/QUOTE]
