You would move up to VP at a pharm or bio company.  Look in your professional journals.  Some of them have People sections, which focus on who has moved up in what companies and what degrees they have.  I noticed in the Journal of Chemical Engineering that all of the VPs had MBAs with science or engineering degrees.

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...

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.

Right now, there is a great demand for both, but it depends on what you like and excel at doing.  Bio tech has a history of being a more volatile career setting, but can be very rewarding.  Pharm cannot be outsourced and jobs are and will continue to be plentiful.  What do you like to do the most, research or medicine?  The hospital I work at has a program that allows students to "shadow" the pharmacist to get a better idea of what the job really in-tells.

University of Washington has a really good pharmacy program, so you can just go on their website and request info.\n\nhttp://www.washington.edu/

well you could start buy getting a list of the companies and applying for a job there.\nI tend to think that since you have very little background in pharmacy that your odds are fairly slim.\nI would think they want people who have contacts with doctors or others in the industry, but who knows, give it a shot.

A Pharmacist is absolutely a professional!  While a Pharmacist is licensed and can hold a Doctorate in Pharmacy (PharmD) they cannot diagnose, they cannot perform physical exams, they cannot order tests,  technically they don't see patients.  They can advise about medications, they can make substitutions, they have the last word about meds, and a clinical Pharmacist (hospital) can write orders for meds.\n\nHere's an idea of annual salaries in thousands:\nPharm. Intern ---- 32.4\nPharm. 1 ---------- 75.3\nPharm. 2 ---------- 79.5\nClinical Pharm. --- 80.9\nPharm. Mgr. ------- 93.8\nRegional Pharm. Mgr. -- 103.7

you can find job in the chemical, pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and medical device industries as a process development chemist amd analytical chemist.you can also find job in the food industry! allows you to work in many of new and exciting areas of science such as BioPharmaceuticals (sometimes called biotech)or pharmaceuticals. It can also allow you to work in the work of toxicology (where you determine the effects of drugs on people/animals) or even forensics. It really combines the best of biology with the best of chemistry.

Demand for pharmacists is high, and programs are competitive. Why? Pharmacy is a great career for someone who excels in chemistry and science. The pharmacists I know enjoy flexible hours, high pay, great benefits, and some satisfaction from helping people. They have worked for pharmaceutical companies from sales to management, for private pharmacies and government, and have as little or as much work as they prefer. A family member is a retired pharmacist and has opportunities to travel and relieve another pharmacist to vacation. He stays and works for a few weeks in a small towns with only one pharmacist; the locations can be in all types of climates, from plains to tropics. I'm sure these are only a few of the many career opportunities for pharmacists, like in research, drug development, and even teaching other pharmacists.\n\nThe female pharmacists I know feel it is the absolute best career for a woman--they have high pay, flexibility of hours, and good working conditions. Each has her own family, has time with her kids, works only as much as she wants, and still brings in a sizable pay check. \n\nDrawbacks are few. They do have to work some weekend and night hours, and especially when just starting their career they have had long shifts. The required education will have you in school for 5-6 years, and that means tuition expenses. However, none of the pharmacists I know regret for one second their decision, nor the expense and work to get licensure. \n\nStudy your sciences, work hard to make excellent grades, and talk to some pharmacists where you live. They may have tips that could help you reach your goal.

I'm not a pharmacist but I would think pharmacology would encompass everything, whereas hospital pharmacy would be just that, very limited.  Supposed you would like to change from the medical profession to say medical examiner.  I would think if your going to get a Master's in anything you should make it worth your work.
