I have studied pharmacy as my undergrad degree. I have also completed a postgrad degree in clinical pharmacy. Overall, it is a terrible job. The conditions have definitely improved since I first started in the field. I remember I was getting paid under $20 p/h in my first year out (about 5 years)? Now the pay is around $25. After getting your full registration, you will earn roughly $30 and there is very limited progression in terms of pay. The workload is abhorrent. You are usually multi-tasking, have ridiculous KPIs that you have to meet and your work is not appreciated by the public.
