Higher education in the united states is an optional final stage of formal learning. Many people do not participate and many are better off for it.
I am surprised at the number of kids that do not want to continue education.
Some call it tertiary education or post-secondary, I personally am a college student persuing a PharmD 
That is great and I am sure a lot of hard work.
A doctor of pharmacy degree is an 8 year program all-in-all
I am sure it would be worth it in the end.
Pharmacy school
The basic requirement for pharmacists to be considered for registration is an undergraduate or postgraduate pharmacy degree from a recognized university. In many countries, this involves a four- or five-year course to attain a master of pharmacy degree (MPharm). In the United States of America, students graduating after January 1, 2003, must complete a doctor of pharmacy degree to become a licensed pharmacist. This same requirement has been coming into place in other countries such as Canada and France.
