1. I am going to be a student pharmacist very soon. Although we are facing pharmacist shortage, due to more and more new pharmacy schools, are we going to have problem finding a job after graduation?
2. Is school ranking very important?
Thank you very much.

Answer Hi, Sanduo,
I don't know how it is where you live, but there shouldn't be a problem finding a job in most areas of the US. I don't think school ranking is very important in terms of getting a retail position,hospital positions may be different. Hope this helps, Mary
