<p>So who is right? Is there a demand or a surplus or pharmacists?</p>

<p>I’d hate to invest 6 years of time and money.</p>

<p>How is it in California?</p>

<p>Lots of time to decide for California. I believe that CA schools require a bachelors degree first in order to apply for pharmd programs.</p>

<p>There seems to be a lack of jobs in just about every profession.</p>

<p>Many of the schools in CA either require or de facto require a bachelors. </p>

<p>From what I hear, the demand depends on the location. There are very few openings in Orange County but many opportunities in the desert.</p>

<p>In terms of pharmacist licensing, CA is one of the few states which uses their own law exam and not the MPJE. If you do not go to a school in CA, the pass rate for that exam is significantly lower than for students who went to CA schools.</p>

<p>I am a first year pharmacy student in California. </p>

<p>Since women make up a large chunk of the pharmacy profession, the excess of pharmacists evens out with a women’s likelihood of working fewer hours on average (less than the traditional 40 hours). (this is from a lecture)</p>
