Want a well-paying job straight out of university? Become a pharmacist.
According to a new ranking from job search site Workopolis, pharmacist is the number-one job for recent grads in Canada.
With an average salary of nearly $85,000 for recent grads, pharmacists do better than nurses ($72,000) or accountants ($59,000), the survey found.
Workopolis looked at entry-level/student jobs (which is a category that employers select at Workopolis), and found among those, the best job is account manager, with an average salary of more than $66,000.
That beats tech support workers ($50,000) and beauty advisors ($11 per hour). But the fact that jobs like "cashier" appear on this top 10 list doesn't inspire much confidence about the quality of work available to students.
