So...You Want To Be a Drug Dealer?

By: Joyceline Miranda

A career in pharmaceuticals could prove to be a promising career. A pharmacist is a person who distributes medications to patients.

Pharmacists do many of the same things every day. They…

· Dispense drugs prescribed by doctors and health care workers.

· Tell patients about how much to take, when to take it, and side effects.

· Talk to people about which drugs sold without a prescription might be right for them.

· Use the computer to keep records of the drugs patients are taking and of the drugs in stock.

· Talk to medical staff about which drug to choose and what it will do.

· Look at records to see what drugs are used most and if any are used too much.

· Make sure controlled substances are kept secure.

· Train pharmacy students who work as interns.

 

                 If you are still interested in becoming a pharmacist, you will need to earn a professional degree. This takes up to eight years of study after high school. In Arizona Pharmacists earn $ 53.50 an hour or about $111,290 a year!
