Posted 5 months ago So i've switched my major about 3 times, I'm a senior in highschool, Still trying to do scholoarships and really need to get started on applications! I want something in the medical field of course so, I went from pharmacy which has been my passion for a while, then Physcology i was so into that and now i've been looking into radiology, I choose it becasue its a clean easy job but also takes commitment and hard work, I know i have to go to school for 5 6 years or so but i don't mind, The problem is i dont really know anyone doing radiology, What do u think? |

| Posted 5 months ago i wouldn't choose a major/career just because it's an easy job to get and etc., cus they you'll get that job and wish you had followed your original plan. i'd go with your passion and do pharmacy! |

| Posted 5 months ago Tho pharmacy school may be more expensive than radiology school, your income over your working years will be much, much more as a pharmacist. There is a critical shortage of pharmacists across USA (it has surpassed the nursing shortage in most areas), so that some hospitals have offered huge ($5000 and more) sign on bonuses to attract qualified pharmacists. Radiology techs work hours that are 24/7, including night shifts, but major corporate pharmacies (walgreen's, CVS, etc) are only open during the daytime/evening hours. Pharmacists who work research and development are right there as new drugs are formulated and marketed - which may be exciting and very rewarding. (I'm an RN in a community hospital, two uncles who are pharmacists. I've seen all this first hand!) Good Luck with your decision making!! |
