not all pharmacists make 6 figures...the national starting salary of a pharmacist is 80,000....
Just curious, where did you find that figure at?

I recently stumbled upon the Bureau of Labor statistics for different occupations - huge, interesting resource for different occupation salaries. However, I don't think it deals with starting salaries, which i'd love to find information about if there is anything out there like that.

Here are the annual wage estimates by percentile for Pharmacists:
Percentile: 10% 25% 50% 75% 90%
Annual Wage: $64,350 $78,620 $89,820 $103,300 $113,310

Not a great indicator for 'growth potential' no doubt, but it seems to have about the same disparity between 10% and 90% percentile salaries as most engineering jobs have: around $50,000.
