Im at a point in my education where i have to choose to either go to med school .. or pharmacy college
either way im getting a doctorate degree and so the decision should be taken lightly
im not sure whether I wanna be a doctor .. Ive always wanted to do "Doctors without Borders" and travel around the world curing diseases for free
but also,
I've always wanted to own a pharmacy
so which should I pursue?? Which would YOU do if you were me?

Nice thinking... I wish all the doctors can think like that. Your feeling about travel around the world curing diseases for free really touched me...
I quit medicine school about 20 years ago, because I get pregnant, and now I am going back to school.
Follow your dreams, be a doctor then will be easy go for the pharmacy.
Good luck!! and God bless you and your career...

Personally, I would choose to be a Pharmacist. Pharmacists don't get called in the middle of the night because someone has a question about their prescription. Pharmacists also have much better hours and don't have to worry about mal-practice insurance in the same way a doctor does. However, if your passion is to do "Doctor's without Borders" then maybe you should choose Doctor. Good luck, and follow your heart.

Become the doctor you always wanted to be. If later in life you choose to own your own pharmacy you can still do that- just hire a pharmacist and you can be the head consultant and owner/manager. Best of luck to you.

Pharmacist, the hours are better, the job is less stressful and you are more likely to be able to have some sort of a personal life.

I think you should go with which one your heart tells you to. No matter which one you choose, you can be useful to mankind and help others, so listen to your gut feeling. That will get you a lot farther than if you try to reason it out.

Personally, I'd choose Doctors, but it's entirely up to you. You decide what's best for yourself.
