Which one is more useful for a pharmacy student:French or Spanish?

Question

I`m thinking about continuing m studies and getting a PhD.My favourite field is medicinal chemistry.

Answer 1

If you live in the US,chances you will have more Spanish speaking customers than French speaking so......Spanish. If Canadian then probably French.

Answer 2

It depends on where you want to go. If you're interested to see the world and move around from country to country, check various immigration websites for different countries. I bet some of them, which are in need of pharmacists, have very lenient immigration policies towards persons with that degree. In which case, the answer would be, "the languages of the countries where you might like to live."

As far as which languages are more likely to be useful on a day to day basis in the United States, I'd have to say that Spanish is more prevalent. But there are qualifiers. If you live in San Francisco, Mandarin Chinese will be at least as useful as Spanish. And near Quebec, I imagine French would be more useful.

So the answer to this question is : depends. =)
