DEMAND FOR GOOD PHARMACISTS.
On another page mention is made of the difficulty one man has been having in securing good men for pharmaceutical positions, and this is only one instance of many that have occurred during the past year. Employers who are willing to pay first-class salaries to good men have been unable to get them, the supply being not nearly up to the demand. For a number of years all of the best men of the graduating class have been engaged long before they had completed their course in college, the medium grade men have been easily placed, and even the poorest students have had little difficulty in getting fair positions and holding them. The only men who have had any great difficulty in securing satisfactory berths have been those who have been too lazy to work, or who have had other traits of general character that no employer would wish in any of his employes. Never in the history of the College has there been a better demand for first-class men, and it is doubtful if there ever has been a time when there were so few good men available. Despite the pessimism that exists in the minds of some people as to lack of opportunity for a young man to advance in pharmacy, it is a fact that there are still many excellent opportunities for those who are ambitious enough to fit themselves for good positions. There is no room in any business for the shiftless and lazy.—Bulletin of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy.
