I hate sitting at a desk all day but it allows me to live the lifestyle that I do.

It sure as hell isn't journalism. That is a fact.

Those are strong numbers to start at.

Are those avg salaries or what the degree costs? I suppose i slot in well if those are salaries, dammit, and i was going to ask for a raise...

HokieDNA01 · 07-24-2009, 10:31 AM

those are average starting salaries.

I am seeing a trend here...

I'm surprised a degree in pharmacy wasn't on there. It seemed like the average starting for them was in the $75k range 10 years ago.

I think they are just talking about 4 year degrees. Because I know attorneys and doctors make more than that so I'm sure Pharmacy, MBA's and other advanced degrees start higher.

I think pharmacy is 5 yrs, PA is 4 yrs and is still a BS (many programs are moving o a masters degree) Last I checked out avg starting salaries is around 70 or 75 as well.

I guess that is it. I think in the late 90s you could just get a Bachelors in pharmacy to work as a pharmacist. It seems now you need the PharmD.
