Trends and Projections
The number of pharmacy schools has grown in recent years, creating
more graduates. Residency programs and certifications give students advantages.
Because of strong competition, a law graduate’s willingness to relocate and prior work experience are becoming more important.
Veterinarians
can expect very strong
competition,
but
are qualified for employment in nontraditional industry positions.
