I am planning on moving from Arizona to New York. Does anyone knows the salary, benefits and possible sign on bonuses that are available for retail pharmacist positions in New York?

I Michigan Isee a bias of 4 to 1 in favor of having a Pharm.D. I graduated with a B.S. In Pharmacy and was told Pharm.D. Degrees would never effect jy ability to get a job. That was a dirty lie. A pharmacy degree without clinical,oncological,pedatric,infectious,diaetic cert. in frount of your name and of course the wonderful (will never affect your abillity to get a job)Pharm.D. after your name is next to worthless in Michigan. I am now finding that Pharm Techs are in more demand than an R.Ph. God help us...

Pharm tech 10-15/hour

Pharmacist 50-60/hour

Why do you think pharm techs are more in demand to the employer.

Joseph is totally correct! I have graduated with BS in Pharmacy and with honors (magna cum laude) and was the top of my class but every place prefers PharmDs! I know that I'm a very knowledgeable pharmacist and did all my internship at in-patient hospital pharmacy and can do a great job at in-patietns hospital setting but they won't even look at my resume because I don't have a PharmD and recenet hospital experience. The unfair thing is when I went to school, PharmD didn't exist yet so it's not like I had a choice. A few years after I've graduated, PharmD programs started. Having always been the top of my class and knowing a lot, now I can't find a job after being laid off from a retail chain trying to save money because I had the least seniority while the lazy pharmacists and techs are still there because they've been there longer and are protected by being union while pharmacists are non-union. It's all really extremely unfair and angers me because I know that I'm one of the best ones out there. Because of that 1 more year of clinical experience, they are called Doctors of Pharmacy while we are called Bachelors of Pharmacy doesn't seem fair either. BSPharmacy is 5 years plus 1500hours of internship which is more like 1 year, 20 hours/wk so should be considered as a master's degree and not a bachelor's degree. They should have never created PharmD to create the discrimination against BS Pharmacists. Had I known that PharmD program was going to start and that it was going to create such grief, I would have chosen med school with my excellent gpa. Life indeed is very unfair!!!
