Hi

With a degree in Pharmacy you will easily get a job! The companies in retail are going as far away as Poland to recruit because we are so short of pharmacists. You could work in industry, hospital retail or others, and your job will include a lot of talking to other people/giving advice about the actions etc of drugs.

A pharmacologist usually ends up bunny bashing! In other words most work in labs, for various companies, performing experimental pharmacology. In other words animal experimentation.

Depends what you want to do really.
