What do pharmasists do?
Do pharmasists need to know a lot of medical terms? How many years of college does it require? How much do they make per year in California? Can you chose where you want to work? I mean like either in a store like Costco or Walgreens or can you chose to work in a hospital? Is it a hard job in general? How many days do you have to work?

Yes, pharmacists have to know a lot of medical terms AND concepts.
The "terminal degree" for a pharmacist is now a doctoral degree, PharmD. So college plus the pharmacist program.
You can work retail (like CVS), hospital, or a number of other places.
As a example, I think that a new PharmD starts at $130,000 at our hospital in Maine.
Hard? Sure can be. Whether it's the productivity pressure in retail or the stress in a hospital, it's a hard job. The schedule totally depends on the employer.
