I'm a college freshman and still unsure about my career path: Pharmacy or Dentistry?

I'm currently a Bio major because I know I want to do something in the medical field...I'm stuck between Pharmacy and Dentistry and I need to choose fast. So benefits and drawbacks of each would be great! Also, salary, hours of work per week, years of school, difficulty of school, etc.





Thank you!

It's really up to you. What have YOU wanted to do since you were younger? No one else can make that decision for you. Since I was younger I knew I wanted to be a teacher. So now, I'm going to school to get my degrees in education and social studies so I can become a high school teacher in a public school.





Only "I" made that decision because I knew that is what I wanted to do.





Talk to counselors at school and ask them questions. But you can't expect them to make up your mind for you. They'll just tell you what you need to know about the 2 professions you are interested in.





Good Luck in your future.
Reply:That is waaay to personal to put on an anonymous place like this. I would consult with your Counselor at school, a trusted friend/family member and weigh your strengths and assets versus the skills and energies needed for these positions. Ultimately, you know what you want and only you can decide. It IS your life and this is part of it-- choosing which road to take.
Reply:The advantages of becoming a pharmacist are:





1) Most jobs are 9-5 meaning that you will have time for family





2) It takes less time to finish and be licensed compared to dentistry





3) Most starting salary are 75-150k depending on location and need





4) You can get $1,000,000 malpractice insurance for only hundreds of dollars per year. compare that to medicine and dentristry





5) You will have a life and a job for the rest of your life
