If you have a passion for the field, the question of difficulty will not be a factor. Read the below.

The following is written by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to the education and training required for pharmacists.

A license is required in all States and the District of Columbia, as well as in Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In order to obtain a license, pharmacists generally must earn a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree from a college of pharmacy and pass several examinations.

Education and training. Pharmacists who are trained in the United States must earn a Pharm.D. degree from an accredited college or school of pharmacy. The Pharm.D. degree has replaced the Bachelor of Pharmacy degree, which is no longer being awarded. To be admitted to a Pharm.D. program, an applicant must have completed at least 2 years of specific professional study. This requirement generally includes courses in mathematics and natural sciences, such as chemistry, biology, and physics, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences. In addition, most applicants have completed 3 or more years at a college or university before moving on to a Pharm.D. program, although this is not specifically required.

Pharm.D. programs generally take 4 years to complete. The courses offered are designed to teach students about all aspects of drug therapy. In addition, students learn how to communicate with patients and other healthcare providers about drug information and patient care. Students also learn professional ethics, concepts of public health, and business management. In addition to receiving classroom instruction, students in Pharm.D. programs spend time working with licensed pharmacists in a variety of practice settings.

Some Pharm.D. graduates obtain further training through 1-year or 2-year residency programs or fellowships. Pharmacy residencies are postgraduate training programs in pharmacy practice and usually require the completion of a research project. The programs are often mandatory for pharmacists who wish to work in a clinical setting. Pharmacy fellowships are highly individualized programs that are designed to prepare participants to work in a specialized area of pharmacy, such clinical practice or research laboratories. Some pharmacists who own their own pharmacy obtain a master's degree in business administration (MBA). Others may obtain a degree in public administration or public health.

Licensure. A license to practice pharmacy is required in all States and the District of Columbia, as well as in Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. To obtain a license, a prospective pharmacist generally must obtain a Pharm.D. degree from a college of pharmacy that has been approved by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education. After obtaining the Pharm.D. degree, the individual must pass a series of examinations. All States, U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia require the North American Pharmacist Licensure Exam (NAPLEX), which tests pharmacy skills and knowledge. Forty-four States and the District of Columbia also require the Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Exam (MPJE), which tests pharmacy law. Both exams are administered by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP). Each of the eight States and territories that do not require the MJPE has its own pharmacy law exam. Besides requiring the NAPLEX and law examination, some States and territories require additional exams that are unique to their jurisdictions. All jurisdictions also require a specified number of hours of experience in a practice setting before a license is awarded. In most jurisdictions, this requirement can be met while obtaining the Pharm.D. In many States, applicants must meet an age requirement before a license can be obtained, and some States require a criminal background check.

All States and U.S. territories except Puerto Rico permit licensure for graduates of foreign pharmacy schools. These individuals must apply for certification from the Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Examination Committee (FPGEC). Once certified, they must pass the Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Examination (FPGEE), Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) exam, and Test of Spoken English (TSE) exam. Then they must pass all of the exams required by the licensing jurisdiction, such as the NAPLEX and MJPE, and meet the requirements for practical experience. In some States, applicants who graduated from programs accredited by the Canadian Council for Accreditation of Pharmacy Programs (CCAPP) between 1993 and 2004 are exempt from FPGEC certification and examination requirements.

We take GCSE's because we need them in later life.
If you want a job GCSE's are very important!
Just enjoy them while you can and try your best!!! :)

In addition universities look at GCSE's when you apply, so you have to do well to go to a good university.

GCSE's also help schools to separate their classes for the future, so you have to do well to be in a set with bright people.

1) First of all, totally forget about your GCSE's and just think about your favourite subjects and ones that you are good at and choose those.

2) If you haven't already thought of enough options, think of one that you don't mind doing or think you could grow to like and do that.

3) And if you still haven't got enough, explore yourself and do a bit of research about things you like to do in your spare time (like drawing, building things or even playing video games!), youll never know, there might be a job in some of the strangest things!

4) You might want to keep your options open and take subjectts like I.C.T/I.T, buisiness and a language (it's always good to show that you're comitted to learn something as lenghty and complicated as that).

And don't be too stressed, its not really your GCSE's that choose your career, its your A levels and later choices in life

ANOTHER ANSWER:

well I think you should keep your GCSE's in mind. For example if you decide to do geography as a level it would be very difficult to do so without doing GCSE geography. Also if you want to be a Drama teacher or something theres no point in taking food tech or something is there??

- If your not sure about what you want to do when your older pick a broader range of options: The compulsory subjects, A language, humanities (Geography or History) and one of the arts or Tech( textiles, woodtech,ict, foodtech). This gives you a broader range and you are open to more things.

-also humanties and a language are not compulsory but it is highly recommended

Try this website mychoicelondon.co.UK and connexions (cant remember the site completely but Google it) there's a quiz here to find what learner you are, what path to take for your career, what kind of career that sounds liek you etc.

Really Helpful :)

Choices I'm taking: compulsory (maths, English, re, psheec, pe, science) socialogy, drama, geography and spanish. :)

Hopeee i helpedd. :]]

Grade boundaries are specified by individual universities, but what GCSE subjects you chose is a different matter.

While a lot of univeristies do not specific what subject a canditate needs, it is always good practice to bring with you a portfolio of drawings/design. In this case, a GCSE in Art or Technology is good to have. Maths and Science should be compulsory subjects at GCSE and you should aim for top marks! c-a in both

If you enjoy those subjects then by the time you get to A-levels, an A-level in one or both of those subjects will benefit you a lot. no u have the same charnce

I did Art, Technology and History as my option GCSEs and for A-level I picked Art, Maths and Physics. Now after studying Architecture at university, I am an Architect. and I love it.

you can't pe professional if you don't invest for practice and keep on training 8 hours a day.

moreover you can check out here, this will help you what you want to be. a coach or best player.

You just need to be naturally good and work hard at your game Play for a sunday team and depending on how old you are scouts may come to some of your games. If they like what they see they will ask you to do a trial for the club they're employed by. My tip is work hard and train every day for AT LEAST 2 HOURS A DAY. Answer To play Football you dont go through university as nfl Gridiron players do for example...to use the case in the EPL you play at an Academy with youth players until a coach deems that you are good enough to train with the seniors...by which time you may earn a call up to the first team. Its football 24/7...the God given talent you possess and endless time spent honing your skills. Note very very few actually do make the step up...success is very rare. such is the ferocious competition.

Answer You don't need any education to become a pro football player. But to obtain the best chances to become a pro if you live in America, is to be on an ODP team for your state (Olympic Development Program) and even better, regional or National Team. Youth players on the national team have the greatest chance to be scouted, at international competitions.

Basically, you need to be scouted. Whether for your national team or a semi pro team

Answer You must practice every day and stay in good physical condition. Also, most coaches would like you to have a General Education Degree, but it isn't required if you have enough skill.

Answer Study the rules of the game and make sure you do a good job at playing football if you want to have enough money to pay your bills. Not every pro football player is a Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Zidane, Roberto Carlos, Maradona, Cafu, Kaka, Dida, Robinho, or Pele.

Answer In all honesty, none. Many professional clubs have youth teams for the purpose of nurturing talent relating to the game of football. In the United States, young soccer players who are sought for professional service often enter accelerated education programs or have their tuition in an academic program included into their contracts, but ultimately, there is no educational requirement to play professional soccer.

Look at Freddy Adu. He was 15 with a high school diploma but no college degree. Lots of players overseas have no degree whatsoever. The philosophy is "if your good enough, you can play." Education doesn't matter.

Answer College

Answer You do not "earn" an education from being a pro soccer player. I do not know why anyone would think you would. wishful thinking I suppose.

Answer None.

Answer In reality none, just as long as you can get the ball in the goal (or keep it out depending on your position).

Answer My brother was a professional soccer player. A LOT of cardio and skill ie ball control, passing, shooting etc etc

Answer You need to practice and listen to your coaches. Also you need to try your hardest and never give up. There could always be someone out there watchiing so limit yoour mistakes and always outnumber your bad games with your good ones.

Answer the training that is needed is to look at ronaldo's plays practice them and do them in game cause there might be some one important like a scout. try hard and never give up run alot in games u wont die maybe sore but you wont die. train 2 hours daily

Answer Get good, and get noticed.

Answer You don't need any eduction, instead, practice and work hard every day.

About the same as an American football player, which is to say not much. In fact, possibly less since there is no extensive playbook to memorize.

well it depends on where you live.....there are many sports schools and camps and representative teams you have to get through......and plus work hard shine through!
