Your work prospects will continue to be GOOD because:
The employment growth rate will likely be significantly above average, occurring primarily in retail businesses.
Although the retirement rate will likely be average, the number of retiring workers should contribute to job openings.
The number of job seekers will likely match the number of job openings.
Preparing for the Competition
You need to develop strong interpersonal (client-focused) skills because you'll likely spend more time providing information to consumers than filling prescriptions.
You're more likely to be hired if you have knowledge of computerized databases.
You'll have to update your knowledge continually to keep up with the rapid development of new drugs for treatment/diagnosis.
You'll increase your opportunities with specialized training in research, disease management, and pharmaco-economics (determining the costs and benefits of different drug therapies).
