What You'll Do: You will be tasked with many duties including: double-checking and filling prescriptions transferred to you by doctors, doing research on a customer's medical history to ensure that the drugs won't pose any threat to their health, teaching customers how and when to use the medication, informing customers of possible side-effects of use, filling out insurance forms and cooperating with insurance companies, training and watching over interns and technicians, and performing various office-related tasks that are necessary for running a pharmacy.

There are certain skills that you should possess if you want to be well-suited for the job. First, you will need great people skills. Interacting with customers on a daily basis is a requirement of the job. Being able to clearly communicate orally and in writing to customers and pharmacy technicians is essential. You also need to be detail-oriented as to not make mistakes with orders and patient data.

Finally, knowing how to manage technicians and aides will keep your pharmacy running smoothly and efficiently

Education and Training: In the United States, a Doctor of Pharmacy degree is required to become a pharmacist. This professional degree is earned after completing a 3 to 4 year program involving advanced courses and labs and thousands of hours of supervised, real-world experience.

Before even getting into a Pharm.D. program, you will have to complete at least 2 to 3 years of undergraduate coursework and pass the PCAT exam.

While completing a doctoral program in pharmacy gives you the prestigious title, you won't be able to practice in your state until you pass two separate exams and get licensed.

The Future: The Pharmacy profession is expected to grow at about 25% through 2020, faster than the average for all occupations. That's good news, and directly attributable to anticipated new drugs in the pipeline, an increasing percentage of the population with insurance coverage, and the aging of the U.S. population.

The Pay: The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a median annual wage for Pharmacists of $113,300 for 2011, with the top 10% earning over $138,600.
