Question
Dear Dr. Beauchamp,
  Do you have to be a Pharmacist to start a business in pharmacy? Because, im going to be a business major, and my wife is in pharmacy school. Or does my wife need a business degree as well?


Answer
You will need a license from the state where it will require a Pharmicist to run the store. You will not have to obtain these to own a business and run the store. If you own a drug store, you do not have to obtain a license, just the people issuing the drugs.
