How is the pay like for a fresh graduate?
For a fresh graduate, he or she has to undergo pre-registration training before registering as a pharmacist with the Singapore Pharmacy Board. During the pre-registration training, the pay will be lower. As a registered pharmacist, you’ll start with about 2.5k – 3k. Pay will vary according to the class of your honours, as well as which sector you’re working in. In the sales sector, starting pay might be lower but if your performance is good, your wages will also increase. Range is quite big. It will definitely be higher than a general degree. If you truly have a passion for Pharmacy, pay should not be an issue.
