When you started the list you saw South Carolina is on the list of best states for pharmacists, and you probably wondered what about North Carolina–is it safe to use the bathroom there? Are many of their state legislature raving morons? The answer to both is yes, for now. Is it good for pharmacists to move and work here? The answer is also yes.
