So, I'm considering Pharmecuetical Engineering as a career (either this or actual pharmacy), and I have a few questions. I need to know for my engineering class (second year). Btw, I'm 15 so keep the answers understandable.
1. If I take this as a career, will I be likely to find a job? Are there alot in an area or do I have to move around all the time?
2. What exactly do they do? (I've searched for the answer but it was either vague or I didn't understand it).
3. Would it be a good idea for a girl to take that career?
4. The typical yearly salary is $65568 and $102431. The lowest salary in the pharmaceutical engineer data was $65000.
Do you think that enough pay to make it out in the real world, with, let's say, a kid?
5. Is it dangerous? As in, will I be exposed to dangerous fumes, or chemical fire risks?
6. Is the job more like being a factory worker or being a scientist?
7. Any other things?

A Pharmaceutical Engineer designs new drugs, according to the needs of his.her employer. Some companies design drugs to fight Diabetes, but not cancer. Some companies design drugs for lung cancer but not breast cancer. Some companies designs drugs for Alzheimer's Disease, but not Diabetes. MOST companies work in 2 or three areas. Interesting point: Medicines for High Blood Pressure are very similar to medicine for Erectile Dysfunction.
Pharmaceutical Engineering has a very quick effect on LIVES, and so it is STRICTLY controlled by the government. ALL drug companies must follow the rules of the countries they sell the drugs to, and not all countries have similar rules. This is a VERY tricky part of the business.
Obviously, it can take YEARS from the time a drug is first thought of until it reaches market. [Average in the United States is 7-10 years from the time a drug is first assigned a scientific work group until it receives FDA approval and sales.] In fact, out of DOZENS of new drugs invented this year, only two or three of them will ever get sold. MOST drugs fail in the first tests (Does it work? No? Then failure.), and thus projects get canceled.
