The other Universities too have done a very good job when it comes to education and importing the much essential and required medical knowledge to their students.

An average pharmacist in California makes about 95,000 – 135,000 US Dollars per year and it is only expected to rise with time. Entry level positions are in the ballpark of US$50,000. Whilst a retail pharmacist in their own business could expect to be taking home upwards of US$250,000 / year.
