Lori’s Answer

The quick answer is yes. Pharmacists are Doctors of Pharmacy, so becoming a pharmacist will be a lot of hard work and require effort to obtain. If you want to help people, make a good salary and like math and science, this could be the field for you.

Allison’s Answer

To become a pharmacist you need at least 2 years of undergraduate education in a science (chemistry, biology, ect) and then an additional 4 years of graduate pharmacy school to obtain your doctorate. After school you do have to take an exam to be a certified pharmacist as well. My husband went through this process and the education is long and difficult, but the career is rewarding.
