most countries are still short of pharmacists. hence there'll definately be a job availability. but if u were to graduate here, you'll have to do the compulsory government service, and during that time you're paid very very little. later of course you could also choose to work in community pharmacies such as guardian or even open you own shop. there're also pharmacists which work as researchers.

QUOTE(misao @ Mar 3 2006, 11:34 AM) Uhm, firstly, about moving to Singapore to work in the biotech industry, I have the following doubts: 1) From what I've heard from friends there, it IS more stressful than Malaysia. Not only working, but also studying. You need to be able to take very high stress to keep a job there. 2) Competition from all the kiasu S'pore grads who also took biotech. Not only is their NUS probably better than any university offering biotech in Malaysia, but (I might be wrong here) preference is probably given to them as well. Ummm.. can anyone explain why there are more jobs for pharmacists than programmers? I actually would've thought the opposite, since for each pharmacy chain you need only 1 pharmacists and not all shops are effective... and there are far less pharmaceutical companies than IT-based companies. I would've thought SE had a wider variety of jobs available, from end-user companies to companies who actually churn out software. Of course, we do need to consider the fact that the IT industry is pretty much saturated... but from what I've heard the current generation is flocking towards medicine/pharmacy/biotech so it might be equally saturated by the time I grad? Arghghghhh I don't know.. >_> I don't know anything about software engineering. But pharmacy i'm kindda sure there's great job availability. It's frequently mentioned in pharmacy talks and there're stats shown too.
