I am not certain to which country you belonged to. However, now you have free time before masters or so on you must enjoy life. Get one girl friend or more than one and try to learn the art of life. Have fun and screw as much as you can.

note im talking about pharmacists in the US, they have different powers and responsibilities in diffrent countries\n\n\ncommunity- working at walgreens, bob's pharmacy, etc. basically count pills, occasianally do a little compounding, answer people's questions, monitor for potential drug problems\n\nhospital- count pills, put them in blister tabs instead of bottles, give doctors advice if needed, make IVs, do some compounding\n\nnuclear pharmacy- prepare radioactive drugs that are used for cancer treatment and diagonostic testing\n\npharmacy consultant- go to nursing homes, hospitals etc. and review patient medications, fix problems, eliminate or add drug therapy, try to switch people to lower cost medications that would be as effective to save money.\n\nclinical pharmacist- work in patient care programs (lipid clinics, diabetes managment, drug therapy managment, research, etc)\n\nthose are the main fields, there are some other nontraditional things as well.\n\npharmacist mainly does the dispensing of drugs (have the degree BS in pharmacy-titled RPh, or Pharm.D- doctor of pharmacy), doctors (have a totally diffrent degree, an MD or DO) are the guys you go see when you are sick, and pharmacologists arent pharmacists, they are scientists who do drug research and try to develop new drugs (for degrees, they have a BS, MS, or PhD in pharmacology or pharmaceutical science or a Pharm.D and then do a couple years of a research fellowship to become certified). if youre interviewing to get into pharmacy school, it'll be fairly similar to a job interview., theyll probably ask stuff such as but not limited to "why do you want to do this" "why would you be a good pharmacist" "what are your strenghts and weaknesses" etc. just look on the web for interview preparation stuff.

You do the work that is available, whatever that may be. This will help you get money for books, if there is help at the college you attend, apply there, They may know of work that is available for students. Sooner or later you need to come to a decision of what you would like to do, or you would be floating through life without an aim.What are you good at, and what are your likes and dislikes? Even the very best job you may get will take some adjustments and have in it something or someone, you will have to learn to cope with. Best of luck.

The current researches in chemistry are mostly compound making for the pharmaceutical industry. You will be synthesizing molecules for a living (BOOOORING)\n\nIn biology, you'll most likely study plants and animals, their habitats...\n\nI suggest biochemistry. You study life at a molecular level (inside the cell). It's very interesting and you get a thorough formation on all aspects of life. Once you get a degree in this, you will know what you like and then decide what research you want to do.\n\nOh, and with a biochemistry degree, you can do research in virtually every field from physics to chemistry to microbiology to clinical studies.

policy research in an area that you are particularly interested in. Why not try to get a few temporary positions in different fields while you are studying to work out what really interests you.

The ways counselors guide college/university students through their system is really backwards.  A person should identify what kind of lifestyle they want.  Lifestyle is defined in varying degrees of security, money, and time.  You need to identify that first.  What and how much do want of each? This should help you with the degree that you have already gotten.  There should be something in the biology field that would meet your requirements.  If you really truly don't want to be in the biology field, still identify your lifestyle requirements, and choose studies that would place you in that career path.  It will also help motivate you b/c you already know what your end result will be.  One other thing is to go out and find and interview people who have already been in that particular field for 5 plus years.  They will also be able to help you b/c of their own experience.  Remember wisdom is learning from someone else's experience.

take a certification program or a masters degree... either that, or go to medical schools... at least that's what i'm planning to do after taking up bs biology... ;p\n\ni'm not sure if you can take a certification program to be a pharmacist, but you can take up a masters degree in pharmacy in the fields of industrial pharmacy, pharmaceutical chemistry and hospital pharmacy among others... although you would have to take the pre-requisite courses offered in the undergraduate program for some of your masters courses.\n\nif you do this, i think your educational background would be bs biology and ms in pharmacy...

Biology.  Almost all the programs only require chemistry through organic, which is also a prerequisite in most biology majors.  Biochemistry itself deals precisely with diseases, helps alot with epidemics.  Most programs only recommend biochemistry at the college level.  Much more important is going to be cellular/genetic, so things such as microbiology, anatomy/physiology, and the like.  The link for my source is a link to such a CLS program.  (Clinical Labratory Science.)

You can always search in Pub med for articles:\n\nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=PubMed\n\nHowever to view full articles you have to access them from a location that has a subscription to those journals.\nTry to do it from college/university libraries.\n\nYou can also try to fish something from regular search engines.\n\nhttp://www.pharm.unito.it/itcrs/erasmus/erasm14.html\n\nhttp://www.touchbriefings.com/pdf/17/pt031_t_west_pharma.pdf\n\nand ctr.\nHope it helped.

not the best person to ask, but you can apply for a job at a retail pharmacy or any pharmacy.   there is a certification test that will probably help you get a job at the pharmacy.  there are sample tests and training books available.  depending on your background the test may be easy or hard.  6 month course to me sounds too long.  i believe there are classes at community college for test, but i also know people who got job with no certification and people who passed test without class or lengthy study.  remembering from long ago i believe test is math related, simple chemistry, a few drug name questions, aghhh ask someone else or see if you can get a sample test.  i knew someone recently who studied for test using book, she memorized many, many drug names and the drug name portion of test was fairly small. the book writer didn't do a very good job.\n\na requirement at pharmacy school for pharmacists is to be a tech so many of those people work there as well i believe.

College is not just set of courses. You can learn and read course paper at home. College teaches you team work, interacting with people and sometimes also teaches how to do things you absolutely don't like. You are learning a life's lesson at college. You can always choose course that go towards your career later.

As a 4th year pharmacy student, let me give you a little advice. Pharmacy School is difficult, but it is a very rewarding career. You have the ability to provide care to patients in a way that no other healthcare professional can. If you are dedicated and have the intellegence, i would stick with it! Just remember that you will get no sleep and will be extremely stressed; we all are, but the rewards are great!!

From previous research into med schools, I would recommend getting a pre-med BS because of the sciences.  You'll probably want to take microbiology, histology, general and organic chemistry to give you a better background for the first 2 years of med school.  It can be done with a psychology degree but it may be more difficult.

Ask yourself why you suddenly want the change from a useful degree to one more abstract? Languages are good to study, as is literature... but how will you feed your children and your future self if your pursue literature? As an academic librarian, I ask this question back to you!

Well, obviously, you need a good background in science, especially chemistry and biology.  But go online to a pharmacy school (or two or three) that you might be interested in attending, and there will be information there.  What we tell you here doesn't matter nearly as much as what the particular school requires of you.\n\nAs an example, here is the information from the USC Pharmacy school.  But check out some others as well. Good luck.\n\nPre-pharmacy Course Requirements\nA minimum of 90 semester or 135 quarter units must be completed prior to entrance, with a 3.0 cumulative GPA. These requirements may be completed at any accredited two-year and four-year college or university. All courses must be completed with grades of C or higher. Grades of Pass/No Pass will not be accepted (unless a course is offered only on a Pass/No Pass basis).\n\nPre-pharmacy requirements in the following areas must be repeated if they are 9 years or older at the time the application is submitted: mammalian physiology, microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry and organic chemistry (full year). These courses must be repeated at a four year college/university.\n\nA Bachelor's degree is not required, but highly recommended. Candidates who have received or will receive a Baccalaureate degree or who have completed units in excess of the minimum required will be considered more favorably than applicants who have fulfilled only minimum requirements.\n\nMathematics and Physical Sciences\nBiological Sciences\nEnglish Composition\nInterpersonal Communication\nPsychology or Sociology\nEconomics\nSocial and Behavioral Sciences\nHumanities\nInternational Course Work\nRequired Pre-pharmacy Course List\n\nMathematics and Physical Sciences\nOnly courses for science majors are accepted. It is highly recommended that math and science courses be completed during the regular academic year and not during a summer term.\n\nCalculus: one semester or two quarters are required. The course should include differential and integral calculus for science majors.\n\nStatistics: one course is required.\n\nGeneral Chemistry: a one-year course including laboratory, for science majors, is required. The course should include inorganic chemistry and qualitative analysis.\n\nOrganic Chemistry: a one-year course for science majors, including laboratory, is required. If the school offers less than a one-year course, the student must complete the second semester at another institution.\n\nPhysics: a one-year course for science majors, including laboratory, is required. If the school offers less than a one-year course, the student must complete the second semester at another institution.\n\nBiological Sciences\nBiology: a one-year course for science majors is required in general biology with laboratory (excluding courses in human anatomy, human physiology, botany and microbiology). If the school offers less than a one-year course, the student must complete the second semester at another institution.\n\nMicrobiology: one course with laboratory for science majors is required\n\nPlease note: Microbiology is offered only in the fall at some institutions\n\nMammalian Physiology: one course with laboratory for science majors is required\n\nMolecular Biology: one course for science majors is required.\n\nBiochemistry: one course for science majors is required.\n\nEnglish Composition\nTwo semesters or three quarters of expository writing (or two quarters of composition and one quarter of approved literature) are required. Remedial English and English as a Second Language (ESL) are not acceptable.\n\nInterpersonal Communication\nCourse should include practice in relationship development; conflict management and resolution. One course is required. A speech course will be accepted as the interpersonal communication requirement if taken in or after 1999 and prior to September 2002.\n\nPsychology or Sociology\nOne course in general psychology or general sociology is required.\n\nEconomics

Choose something that you like and are willing to work hard at.  Come prepared to spend some late nights studying, the library is open 24 hours and there is always someone there.  It is hard work but if you can manage your time you will have a great 4 (or 5 or 6) years:)  It is not all bad though, just don't come thinking it will be a walk in the park, especially as a ME major.
