With some bias, I would highly recommend it. The straight 6 program at Rutgers is a great way to go, but is extremely hard to get into and it's competitive admissions process is only increasing(I was on the admissions committee). All pharmacy schools will offer you relatively the same education, a lot of what you learn comes from how hard you work.(just like everything else, cliche, I know.) For admissions reasons, you might have to undergo interviews, so I would recommend a job at a local pharmacy when you are able, some might have age limitations. As to the second part of the question, a pharmacist with a doctorate in pharmacy has a vast amount of opportunities from working in a local pharmacy to a position in the pharmaceutical industry(especially in the northeast). A pharmacist in the local drug store (ie CVS) makes good pay and works to advise patients and make sure that the medication dispensed is correct. Also a lot of recommendations on what over the counter products to use. I plan on working in a hospital and will be doing a pharmacy residency next year so that I can be a clinical pharmacist in the hospital. I think I touched on all aspects of your question at least a little. If you have any other questions about this just type an answer that asks for some more specifics. Hi,
