I'm not sure whether to choose from a diagnostic medical sonographer or a pharmacist???

Question

Like i know a medical sonographer is a two year program but I don't think it will be enough.Like i know i can do better.Like I can do better than an associates degree.What do i do?A pharmacist always has interested me though. Should I do the sonography thing and then try the pharmacist or what?What if I get into the pharmacy and it's too much. Is there any other jobs typical to that. I know I don't want to be a some type of nurse, bathing people and stuff like that. please help me!!! I'm so confused and I kind of need to make up my mind because I'm at the point in college where it's time to choose your career and I'm still not sure.

Answer 1

I was a pharmacy technician for almost 4 years once (Certified through a 6 mth course) and let me tell you, it's a high paced, often stressful job. You have TONS of people coming in with prescriptions and there are always more being phoned in, as well. As a pharmacist, you need to go speak with people who often are sick and seriously grumpy, have questions, or just don't understand their medications. A lot of people use different pharmacies and will ask questions that your software would have been able to take care of if they had gotten everything at one place ... especially drug interactions. THAT'S a huge problem. The place I worked at couldn't provide the pharmacist relief for lunch so I'd often go get us lunch and we'd eat while working. I got sick so often while working there it wasn't funny. Just think of all those prescription papers and the money people use to pay for them crawling with germs. =P

On the plus side, it was a rewarding job and I felt I was doing something worthwhile. I do enjoy people interaction and usually didn't mind talking to people and helping with their problems.

I don't know how much this helps you ... but at least it gives you some insight into what it entails.

Answer 2

open up the help wanted ads and look under medical sonographer......now check under Pharmacist.

Hope this helps.
