Hi all ,

Well , I'm new to this forum and I would be grateful if any of u can guide me through this .
I am an Egyptian pharmacist who , like many of u , thought of migration and practicing the profession overseas after graduation . I ,seriously, considered America for many reasons one of which was because I always had that american dream since I was a young boy

lol
I was about to send my documents for evaluation ,but suddenly I shifted my plans towards Australia . This was because I have a couple of friends there and that I was told that FPGEE folks are facing problems finding a sponsor after passing and getting their certificates . I applied for APEC ( Australia Pharmacy Examining Council ) and passed both papers and currently waiting for my Australian visa , but to be honest something inside me is still insisting on the US !!!!

So , I want to know about the wages in the US , difficulty in finding a sponsor , whether there is a real shortage of Pharmacist or not , how to study for FPGEE , difficulty of such an exam compared to the APEC exam if u have a clue about it and most importantly : WHAT TO DO U THINK OF MY DECISION ??
WHAT DO U ADVISE ME ??
Continue my journey untill getting my Australian registration as a pharmacist or shofting to America again ??!!!

I know I might appear a bit hesitated , but thy comments and opinions are extremely important to me as I don't have a clue about the pharmaceutical market and the situation as a whole in the US .

Waiting thy comments as soon as possible .

Cheers .
