Pharmacist :)

Pharmacist
Duties and Responsibilities:
Pharmacists’ compound, or prepare, prescriptions written by physicians dentists, and other practitioners.  They review these prescriptions to validate their accuracy and then prepare the medication.  This can involve weighing, measuring, and mixing drugs.  Once the compounds are prepared, pharmacists then dispense them to customers and patients. 
Pharmacists answer patients' and customers' questions about the drugs they are taking and drugs which can be sold over the counter. 
Average Salary: $33,000-$51,000
Educational Requirements:
Students should take the most challenging high school classes (including AP or IB) available in English, science, and math. 
All pharmacists must graduate from a college of pharmacy.  Most pharmacy schools require applicants to take the Pharmacy College Admissions Test (P-CAT), and some require up to two years of pre-pharmacy education.
Reflecton:
I would want to be one because this sounds really fun to be and I do see myself doing this career in my future.
