<p>Alright, so I have been looking into pharmacy for along time now and I think that it is the career path for me. Now I have a few questions starting at the high school level.</p>
<p>Alright so Freshman year I messed up first semester but I didn't fail anything I did get almost all D's though but then I got my stuff together and have gotten all A's since. I'm wondering if that will affect my chances of getting in the University of Michigan (I live in state). Last year I took a test and my projected ACT score was 32 I took one this year and it was 33 so I'm wondering if I get that good of a score on my ACT will that make the Freshman year fiasco look a little less important? Also what classes should I take in high school? I'm taking Anatomy and Chemistry next year, I already took biology. Also I heard if I complete all the schools life science courses that I will be able to dual enroll at the local college junior year should I do this? Why or why not please.</p>
<p>Alright so moving on a little bit how much will University of Michigan cost me to go there per year? Not staying in a dorm room. Should I major in Chemistry or Biology? I love both of them so to me it makes no difference. What grades would I need to get into the University of Michigan Pharmacy school also (GPA wise). Also what would pharmacy school cost? I need to get a rough idea of how much money my whole college experience will cost.</p>
<p>Now let's talk about when I get out of college. I've always wanted to work in a hospital since I was little and I was wondering if that would be possible. Also what kind of hours would I work?I have researched this but I see a extremely wide range of hours. Also I hear around $100,000 is median wage. I was wondering what entry wage is because I don't want to have student loans for along time.
Any and all information about becoming or being a Pharmacist is welcome and encouraged.</p>
<p>Also, if pharmacy is looking as with job security and all should I become a doctor? I heard that medical school i much harder and most drop out, then again I hear that doctors make nothing now because of malpractice insurance but I don't want to own my own practice I would want to be a neurologist in a hospital. So yeah alot of questions. Also I heard that doctors have no free time is that true? Also what would the salary, job security and hour differences be like?</p>
<p>One final question that isn't really important. I have heard it both ways, that pharmacists have a doctorate of pharmacy and that they don't which one is it? Also I saw that pharmacy school is 6 years including your bachelors then I saw 8 years with bachelors. I guess the second one it important, but anyways I was wondering.</p>
<p>Thank you in advance to anyone who answers.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
