Studying to become a college-level pharmacist – 3 new career paths to increase your income.

Previously, when we talked about studying to become a college-level pharmacist, we only thought of jobs like working in pharmacies, hospitals, or as lecturers… However, there are now three extremely promising new career paths specifically for those in the health sector in general and pharmacy in particular.

Revealing 3 new job categories for college-level pharmacy students.

With the impact of technology and the "flat world" trend, professions are no longer limited to narrow fields but constantly offer new job opportunities, intersecting from many different backgrounds. If you want to study to become a college-level pharmacist but aren't particularly interested in working in hospitals, pharmacies, or research, then this might be what you're looking for.

• Become a KOL/KOC – a content creator.

You read that right! With a bachelor's degree in pharmacy, you are fully capable of becoming a content creator or a key opinion leader (KOL/KOC). With your solid healthcare knowledge, you have the ability to advise, answer questions, and contribute to raising community awareness about pharmacology.

By sharing values, you can combine content marketing, advertising, and affiliate marketing for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, etc., to increase your income. This method is not new on video and social media platforms, most notably TikTok.

Many people will ask if it's possible to become a KOL/KOC if they have a vocational college degree in pharmacy. The answer is "no." The reason is that from 2025, the Ministry of Health will stop recruiting staff with vocational college degrees, and this level of education will gradually be phased out. Therefore, you should pursue a college-level pharmacy degree to ensure you have sufficient knowledge and qualifications before entering the profession.

• Working as a manager in beauty and aesthetics establishments.

Nowadays, the community has a very good understanding of beauty care and aesthetics. This also creates opportunities for those pursuing a college-level pharmacy degree.

With specialized knowledge in human anatomy, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, etc., you can absolutely become a manager of beauty salons. This job can bring in an income of up to hundreds of millions of VND per month.

• Working in non-governmental organizations, international health organizations

This would be the perfect choice for those who love to travel and have good English skills. This job can help you develop in a professional and modern environment while also learning from leading medical experts worldwide.

This job is not difficult to find; you just need to keep an eye on the websites of international health organizations and public health organizations to easily find internship recruitment notices.

Is studying to become a pharmacist difficult, and how long does it take to graduate?

Many people, despite loving the work of "white-coated angels," hesitate to apply because they worry they won't be able to pursue a career in pharmacy. So, is studying to become a pharmacist difficult?

In reality, every field presents different opportunities and challenges. Whether you choose pharmacy, IT, administration, marketing, or any other profession, you need to strive your best, maintain your passion, creativity, and exploration to keep the flame alive in your career.

Furthermore, nowadays, colleges often apply shorter training programs: usually only 2 years and 4 months to 3 years to graduate. For example, in the Health Sciences group (Pharmacy, Nursing), Viet My College only trains students in 2.4 years. Practical training also accounts for 70% of the curriculum, so students don't need to worry about how many years it takes to become a pharmacist like with a university degree.

Viet My College – Continuing the "international" dream for future pharmacists

To fully explore career opportunities for those wishing to pursue a college-level pharmacy degree, Viet My College leverages the support from the EQuest education group to "continue writing" the international dream for future pharmacists.

100% offers free specialized English training every semester. This is extremely rare because at other institutions, students need to pay an additional 5-10 million VND per year to obtain a language certificate. In addition to Vietnamese teachers, the school also has a team of native English speakers, helping students develop accurate pronunciation and a modern approach to using the language.

In particular, to foster creative thinking and hone practical skills, Viet My organizes over 50 activities each year. These include not only study tours at businesses, internships, and practical training, but also numerous workshops, seminars, and conferences where students can meet and ask questions to experts. This is a "golden opportunity" for students to be "re-energized," maintaining their passion and enthusiasm for their chosen path.

More importantly, Viet My University uses the 100% academic transcript for admissions, so students can worry less about which subject group to study pharmacy in. As long as you've worked hard during your three years of high school, you have the opportunity to pursue your chosen field.

Currently, Viet My has over 500 partner businesses and leading corporations in Vietnam. The school is actively seeking out multinational healthcare organizations and pharmaceutical companies to help its college-level pharmacy students easily obtain scholarships and jobs abroad.
