                                                               When You Tell One Lie 
                                                                                 -Paul Hatch
            When you tell one lie, it leads to another
            So you tell two lies to cover each other
            Then you tell three lies and, Oh brother
            Your'e in trouble up to your ears!

           So you tell  four lies to try to protect you
           Then you tell five lies so folks won't suspect you
           Then you tell six lies and you'll collect
            A life filled with worries and fears

           'Cause you can't remember how many lies you've told
           And half the things you say aren't true
           And sometime you'll slip, you'll trip up and then
           Whatever will become of you?
           
            So you lie and lie without even trying
            And each lie you tell will keep multiplying
            'Til the whole wide world will know your'e lying
             Then you'll be
              Suspected
              Detected
              Rejected
              Neglected
              Disliked
              And you should!
              When you lie, you're closing the door
               On everything good

                                                                        Pharmacist

Duties and Responsibilities: Pharmacists compound, or prepare, prescriptions written by physicians, dentists, and other practitioners.  They review these prescriptions to validate their accuracy and then prepare the medication.  This can involve weighing, measuring, and mixing drugs. Once the compounds are prepared, pharmacists then dispense them to customers and  patients. Pharmacists answer patients' and customers' questions about the drugs they are taking and drugs which can be sold over the counter.  In some cases, pharmacists are responsible for taking inventory of the drugs on the shelves and ordering any which they are low on. Pharmacists work in hospitals, clinics, health departments, universities, and grocery, drug, and discount stores.  Those who work in stores must be aware of the other health supplies available in the store so they do not direct customers in the wrong direction.

Salary: $33,000-$51,000

Education:   Students should take the most challenging high school classes (including AP or IB) available in English, science, and math. All pharmacists must graduate from a college of pharmacy.  Most pharmacy schools require applicants to take the Pharmacy College Admissions Test (P-CAT), and some require up to two years of pre-pharmacy education.  Other colleges will admit students directly from high school. Normally it takes at least five years to earn a Pharmacy Degree.  To earn a Doctor of Pharmacy degree,  Pharm.D., requires at least six.
