I don’t know a single full time pharmacist who makes only $70k. The average salary is a little over $100k.

If you go into retail pharmacy (meaning working for Walgreens, CVS, etc. as opposed to working at a hospital or clinic pharmacy) you can expect to start at around $100k per year. There is a shortage of pharmacists right now in the workforce, which leads to a huge demand. It is a great field to go into in my opinion. Good luck!

Leslie ur title ask about pharmacist income & both of the responses can be correct cause it’s going 2 depend on where in Oregon you work and whether ur working for company or as independent pharmacist.
But if I read further it kinda sounds like ur wondering as a student going 2 OSU in Oregon what would be the minimum wage made per hour? Many students who train earn more than minimum wage while a student trainee.
My pharmacist friends tell me 70,000.00 is the norm but floaters could make easily 90K and more established, big city average 100k. It’s a hard profession 2 learn so stop working about what u’ll make and care more about the material u have 2 know 2 succeed.
PS the intials of OSU could be Oregon State University, Ohio State University just 2 schools that came 2 mind.
