Out of these careers, what is the best?

If you are a PA, MA, NICU Nurse, Sonographer/Ultrasound Tech, Optometrist, Pharmacist, Dental Hygienist, or Dental Assistant, please help me decide which of these I should pursue. I dont want to spend a lot on education but also make a good amount of money. So please let me know how much money and time I would spend on school for each, and how much will I make. Thanks.

How do you become a Pharmacy Technician?

Hello, I enrolled in a 6 month online course through NHA at Central Louisiana Technical Community College in January 2024 and finished August 2024. I passed my exam & received my candidate credentials in October. Since, I have been on a job hunt to work as a Pharmacy Technician. Many jobs I’ve applied to denied my application without cause. I need help with finding jobs in my career.

What kind of work is done in a pharmacy? What is your most favorite and least favorite part of working as a pharmacist? Why did you choose pharmacy as a career?

I'm currently starting trade school and I would like to get to know more information about the career I'm interested in getting into. I don't have any experience in working in a pharmacy, I've only worked retail before. I'm interested in getting into Pharmacy because I want to be able to help people in need. I hope to get a job at a hospital where I’ll hopefully make medicine for the patients that need it.

Good day Everyone, I would really appreciate if someone could kindly explain in great detail what the difference is between a career in pharmacology and a career in pharmacy . And I don't just mean salary wise, what can one do that the other absolutely can't, how are they both viewed in the workplace... and lots more. Initially, I thought that they were both the more or less on the same level but I've heard lots of things about the former being a less "noble" path and that sometimes they end up as Pharmacy Assistants. I'm hoping to get more of a real life perspective, because searching online has managed to confuse me even more. Thank you in anticipation.?

I'm a college student hoping to be able to see things clearly as they are in the real world.

How do I begin my journey preparing for retail pharmacy

Throughout high school I've tried to keep pharmacy as my main goal but left options open like entrepreneurship. I want to do more than just science classes in school.

Is pharmacy a good alternative to nursing ?

I’m working on college applications and I’ve noticed that getting into nursing school is harder these days—harder than getting into pharmacy from what I’ve seen. Therefore I’ve been thinking of pharmacy as a backup plan. How different is pharmacy from nursing? I feel like there is only one job you can do with pharmacy and that’s obviously a pharmacist, but can you do another job with that degree? I’ve also heard there has been a decrease in student demand in pharmacy overall? Does the job contain a high-stress environment? What do you do exactly on the job?

Can you give me any tips to guide me in the pharmaceutical path? ?

I want to stick to the medical/pharmaceutical field, but I have questions about it. What majors and/or classes would be best to take a for a pharmaceutical pathway? How do pharmacists identify the medication someone has to take? What tips can you give me that may help me out in the future? I'm currently taking classes such as AP chemistry and biotech 1, but are there any other classes I should take before something like medical school? I don't know anyone who is a pharmacists, and I'm looking for someone who can help me answer my questions and give me tips along the way.

I'm a senior in high school and noticed too late that I wanted to get into nursing, but how can I pursue becoming a nurse as a student about to graduate high school?

I am currently a senior in high school. I've just recently become interested in nursing wanting to be an RN in Radiology. What do I do first after high school? What schools are recommended here in California should I apply too? Should I go straight into nursing school first or start off with a science major then go into nursing school? I want to obtain a BSN at the same time I also want to get into a Radiology Technology program but which one should come first? I don't have anyone really at home who could tell me about this so I really could use the help.
