OK, got it! I wonder if the issue then is that a lot of these people at my local pharmacies are actually pharmacy techs and not pharmacists. From interactions with them, the vast majority are dumber than doorknobs and they are making increasingly worrisome errors. The doctoral degree can't be THAT worthless!

the fact that college is now trade school is just sad
A real Trade School ranks higher in my book
Even though I got a College degree, I am not stupid

But I guess the survey does make sense though, since those with only a BS are probably in the latter part of their careers so they will be making more money as a result.

You can replace "college" with "church," "private school," or "public school" (in any rural environment). At least in the case of college, people are choosing to go.

After doing this for a long time, my opinion is that for bachelor's level hires there isn't a noticeable difference between the top-tier engineering schools and the rest, except perhaps quality of lab work courses. When hiring bachelor degree engineers I focus on the potential of the person (innate intelligence, work ethic, capacity to work in teams, etc.), not where they got their diploma. We're going to teach them anyway so it's all about evaluating potential.
There is not that much difference between a Mechanical Engineering degree from LSU versus Georgia Tech...both have the same accreditation, same text books and required to take the same exams to qualify by state law as an engineer.
That (individual potential) is true to some degree as well for advanced degree candidates, but there I see noticeable difference (again IMO only) in top-tier programs and the others. Young folks coming out of the more acclaimed schools seem more prepared to hit the ground running with less hand-holding.

No! The pharmacist who works at your local pharmacy, in your local CVS, or in your grocery store's pharmacy most definitely DOESN'T have a doctoral degree. My local pharmacist only has a bachelor's. I have a friend who is a pharmacist in a hospital and has a master's. So, no!
How old is your local pharmacist and friend? Any newly graduated pharmacist (or hell in the past 10 years) you'll find today has a PharmD.
ETA: I see buckeye_vol beat me to it.

BLS Pharmacy Technicians
Probably Techs that are under the orders of an actual Pharmacist. Im not sure if you are referring to private pharmacy, but typically more mundane tasks are passed off to the techs.

Becoming a pharmacy technician usually requires earning a high school diploma or the equivalent. Pharmacy technicians typically learn through on-the-job training, or they may complete a postsecondary education program.
