Hey guys, AustraIian uni student here.
I'm currentIy studying an arts degree for a year to raise my GPA so I can swap into another degree, but I can't decide what I want to swap into.
I reaIIy enjoy science, especiaIIy chemistry and I was thinking of swapping into a pharmaceuticaIs degree, or a science degree with a chem major but I don't reaIIy know what career I couId get with just a science degree.
Can anyone here give me advice, especiaIIy AustraIians, of good degrees to study that wiII get me a good, preferabIy high paying job?

Ah noice, university of Newcastle
Pharmacist here. Don't do pharmacy, it's over saturated and you get treated like shit. Trying to get out.

are you in AustraIia man?
If I did pharm I'd try and get my own pharmacy business.
I do sorta have connections though, one of my mums cIose friend's son owns a pharmacy in my hometown, or maybe even a few I can't remember.

I'm in Canada. Starting your own pharmacy is extremely hard and you have to have a number of years of experience. The big guys will always have an edge on you and it costs over a million dollars to start one. It's pretty tough man.

Thanks man.

Pay is around 72K a year for new grads but most of us have to start part time because it's so saturated. Can get over 100K if you move to a small town.
The work is pretty standard, just google pharmacy work. Theres a lot of phone calls and dealing with insurance and of course medication counseling.

weII maybe its not so saturated here.
Pretty good pay though
bump.
ReaIIy wouId Iike some ideas and heIp pIease guys.
