From Compu's description it seems Egypt has some good ideas about education. Reward those with good marks. Making it more affordable. Money, while in school helps. (altho I am sure small). I wouldn't have less respect for someone if they got financial help. I wish Canada got more involved with that.


Our system has many flaws, mainly lack of funding, but it guarantees everybody a chance for a better life.

Congrats on your bachelor. I bet you will go back to get your masters.


I'm hoping for $12,000 a year, which may not sound much, but when you factor in the fact that the average Egyptian family makes about $1,200 a year, then it's very reasonable Wink

As for the masters, i may be tempted just to keep up with the rest of my family, whom pretty much all got PhDs or MDs Razz

I know someone who is managing a pharmacy at a large scale grocery store. She is making about $200,000. She had to move to a smaller town. It is a good wage here.

That's why most pharmacists love Canada Wink

I'm more into hospital pharmacy myself.

She was the manager so I don't what the other pharmacists make. Hospitals are more interesting that is for sure.


We have basically 2 divisions which control a handfull of hospitals each. One is Frazer health an the other is Vancouver Coastal Auth.
hospital pharmacy wages are:
Clinical pharmacist is $38.24/hr to $47.71/hr

Clinical Pharmacy Specialist: $42.78/hr to $53.37/hr

You get overtime too which is time +1/2

Canada has the reputation of being a great place for pharmacists. A lot of Egyptians immigrate there.

But i'm not thinking of moving anywhere right now Smile
