I heard that pharmacists make $90,000 a year. Is that true?
As of now, the average is around this figure since the demand for pharmacists (especially in California) is high and the supply is low (This explanation will seem incredibly clear after taking one of the pre-pharmacy prerequisites – Economics 1). The nation is already experiencing a shortage of pharmacists. This shortage is even greater in California because of the more difficult state board exam. It is therefore relatively difficult for out-of-state pharmacists to come in and fill the demand. As such, the demand for pharmacists is high enough to bring annual salaries up to attract newcomers to the field.
