Marketing.  If you want to sell, learn to sell.  You can get all the training you need from the manufacturer.  As a representative, you need to know how to market the product.  Ask a rep and see what they say.

Instead of worrying about what courses or majors to take, go backwards, look for actual jobs you'd want to do, then find their job ads and see what the typical experience and education requirements are and THEN find the courses you need to take.  Criminology encompasses a huge range, so try narrowing your interest and go from there.  In the end the diploma specifics doesn't mean a whole lot, you'll find that out in the real world.

Being a pharmacist is a lot more training and it is extensive. Nursing you have many routes you can take depending on what in the field you want to do.  There is CNA, LPN, or RN.  CNA, being the fastest route.  As far as RN you can either choose to have a diploma, associate's degree, bachelor's degree, master's degree, or PHD in nursing.  You can also work a variety of settings.  I've been in the field for 21 years but I float all around a hospital, so every shift is different which I love. I also have other titles of which I also do freelance and volunteer work with.

Study hard and get into the right schools first.  It is a pretty good idea to work toward the Medical Doctor degree program, but if you fail to get admitted, then go for the pharmacist work.  \n\nIn general, it is NOT about Pay.   It is the kind of work that you want to do.   \n\nTo compete, you need all As.  But at a school like Yale University, ALL applicants have all As.  So you must do more to stand out.   You should get involved in hospital volunteer work.    Try to get great grades, but be a vital component in your community.  Aim to get scholarships and get accepted by an IVY LEAGUE college. \n\nA medical degree can be awesome.   Becoming a pharmacist can be awesome.   But together, you could become a Research Medical Doctor...  so instead of curing ONE person at a time, cure millions.

You can pursue a master's degree in nutrition, as well as a PhD, however there is a license you will need to acquire as a Registered Dietitian, which any accredited master's program will offer.  As a Registered Dietitian you can educate people on proper nutrition.  Many registered dietitians do not go into research though.  As a biochemist, you don't necessarily advise people on nutrition, but you can go into research on metabolism (mainly as a PhD), or toxicology.  As for the GRE subject test for pharmacology, you would probably want to take the chemistry subject test.  It would be best to even call the schools you are thinking of applying to and asking their admissions dept. their advice on which subject test to take.  Good Luck!

Except for the School of Pharmacy at the University of Puerto Rico and the PharmD program of the Lebanese American University in Byblos, Lebanon that was accredited by ACPE in June 2002, no school of pharmacy outside the United States holds ACPE accreditation.\nGraduates of foreign pharmacy schools may meet the educational eligibility requirements for licensure by:\n\n    o Graduating from a US school or college of pharmacy;\n    o Earning Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Examination CommitteeTM (FPGEC)® Certification; and/or\n    o Following other procedures approved by the state in which licensure is sought.

Pharmacology is tough to get into, almost as tough as Med School.  You have to take pre-enrollment exams to get into the Pre-Pharm program, then maintain a good GPA to get into the Pharmacology program.  Go consult a college adviser for a better idea of what you are in for.

wow! i'm applying to pharm schools this year too. i believe that most schools want between 2.5-3.5, but they do also look at your other qualifications (ie: work, extracurriculars). i think it depends on the school though. Good luck!!

Registered Pharmacists (RPh) must have a PharmD or similar degree from a accredited college of pharmacy and must register with the state pharmacy board in the state that they will practice in, some states require examinations and continuing education and states differ on how long a licence is good for.\n\nCertified Pharmacy Technicians (CPhTs) have to pass a exam given by the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board and have to meet continuing education requirements as well as be licenced in the state that they are practicing in. Different states give different weight to CPhT status. Some states require it to practice as a technician, others do not require Certification to be a licenced technician but do allow CPhTs to perform tasks that licenced but non-nationally certified technicians are not allowed to do.

To be competitive in pharmacy, you'll need about a 3.5.  You should retake some courses.  However, it becomes very hard to raise your GPA, the more courses you take.
