Mpharm pharmacy with foundation year

Is it worth 5 years studying to be a pharmacist? Do most people get jobs after leaving uni?

Pharmacist here.
Getting a job isn't too difficult in the community. There are always positions open for locums too. Hospital is much more competitive and you may not get a job. A job as a GP pharmacist is even more competitive.

Whether it's worth studying to become a pharmacist is a whole different subject matter

Yes that is retail/community pharmacy.

Personally I regret my career decision. Growth is slower than I would like and even if I were to achieve my maximum potential as a pharmacist, I feel like I would always be wanting more.

U regret studying pharmacy to be a pharmacist? People who take pharmacy for a degree at uni is a pharmacist the only job they can get?
