<p>Not as limited as you might think…there are many opportunities for pharmacists outside of the retail setting most people think of. Many pharmacists do residencies and become specialists, quite a few teach, some earn a JD (lots of money, opportunities there) or go into administration or research (also on a different, and often higher, payscale). And remember that retail pharmacists often earn significantly more than their stated salaries by picking up extra shifts.</p>
<p>Many of the pre-reqs you’ll take apply to both pre-pharm and pre-med and some people do take both the PCAT and the MCAT. Meanwhile, see how you like the chem/bio sequences, as well as A&P, and do some shadowing or get a part-time job in a pharmacy.</p>
