<p>First of all, I am an international student. I graduated both junior high and high school in the U.S., though..
I am planning to attend a Pharmacy School, but I am not sure if I have a good career future after graduating even as an international student...
Is it worth studying Pharmacy in college?
Please help me!!</p>
<p>It's going to be challenging for you because you probably are going to have to go to a private school (which will be harder to get into) since public schools usually do not accept non-residents.</p>
<p>Also, when you graduate you would have to get either an H1-B visa to work here temporarily, or Permanent Residence (aka Green card) to live and work here permanently. These can be tricky and costly and time consuming to obtain.</p>
<p>Note: when I said that public schools dont usually accept non-residents, I was specifically refering to pharmacy schools, and not colleges in general.</p>
<p>Depends on the degree you plan to seek in Pharmacy.</p>
<p>If you decide to pursue a doctoral degree (PhD not PharmD) in either Pharmacology or Pharmaceutics, or Medicinal Chemistry, your status as an international student doesn't matter.</p>
<p>You can indeed get admission in these programs on H1 visa if you apply in time and get all the paperwork filled out by the school for you. PhD students get paid pretty well if during their doctoral years as well. NYMC (in Valahalla) for example, was paying about $20,000/year to doctoral students that were fully supported.</p>
