How hard is to set up your own local community phamacist after you have completed your degree. And how much would you earn a year Answer1:It depends. Is it in a city or town. Does it have many products. All things apply. How much you earn depends on how many workers you have, how many products you sell, how long your store hours are, how much you spend for advertising, how much you spend to get the products, how many customers you have, etc. it all depends. What i would do, is start at a pharmacy for about 6 months, get to know the Business, how much you make a month, ask the store manager how much he/she makes and so on. then start your own.
