H<\/span>ave you ever wondered where all the people living in these McMansions everywhere work? I mean, how are so many people able to afford such luxurious accommodations these days? <\/p>\n

I’m not a hater, I’ve just been curious about this for a long time. Everywhere you look there is another high-end super-deluxe subdivision being constructed. More power to those that can afford those houses, but seriously, what do they do to earn a living?<\/p>\n

Well today, I had a revelation. The answer has been right in front of me all this time. In fact, the answer keeps popping up in new places almost every day on every corner in America. Want me to let you in on the answer?<\/p>\n

Walgreens<\/a>. That’s right, I said it, Walgreens. Walgreens stores are opening up faster than 12-packs on a NASCAR weekend.<\/p>\n

And, all these Walgreens have one thing in common. Pharmacists. <\/p>\n

Pharmacists make some pretty good coin. In fact, PharmacyNow.org<\/a> estimates that the median income in the U.S. for a pharmacist today is $88,388 and for the Director of Pharmacy it’s $102,538. <\/p>\n

I’ll admit, it’s still just a working theory but I think the mystery is solved. What we have are well-to-do pharmacological colonies popping up all over the place. I should have been a pharmacist. Well, not exactly. I mean, didn’t these people ever see It’s a Wonderful Life<\/a><\/em>? Every time I’d hand a prescription to a customer I’d be like, “Uh, wait a second, let me look at that again. Heck, I better re-count these too.”<\/p>\n
