NYC as a pharmacist

Hi, I am a pharmacy student looking into moving to nyc after graduation. I don’t have any family in nyc so I will be looking for places to live on my own and start from there. I know the rent is high and all the costs are high.

But is it possible for me to survive in nyc if I work in a chain stores? Cvs, duane reade, walgreens…. Or if you live in nyc as a pharmacist where do you work? At a hosptial or loreal?

I’m just genuinely dying to know and would appreciate some advices.
