I'm currently looking for colleges and am interested in pharmaceuticals and engineering. Can anyone lend an idea to help me decide and start on a good path?

That is an interesting question, because I am an Electrical Engineer and my Wife is a Pharmacist. I like engineering because I like the challenge of it, and understanding how things work , and designing and building circuits. My wife enjoys her Pharmacy career because she likes chemistry, medicine, and helping people.

The courses of study, careers, and lifestyles are very different. Both are quite challenging, with pharmacy being chemistry and biology heavy, and engineering being math and physics heavy.
You should evaluate how you came to put these two on your list.
(BTW, it is possible to combine the two in applied chemical engineering.)

this question is interesting because Im an Electonics and Communications Engineer.....For me i like engineering because its challenging, during my college days...more in math and analysis....i like this course cause it relates to the new technologies....but basically stars wit the principles electronics....as cud say electricity is our life cuz the work may stop without power source....
i dont all about any medical course... thats why i dont take up pharmacy cuz im afraid of patient like being shot, from car accident, etc. those things really scares me

Based on comments from a friend who is a pharmacist, it seems repetitive, with little or no opportunity to be creative. If you don't get along well with people, you would want to avoid retail pharmacy.
Engineering on the other hand could alow for creative thinking and actions.

Pharmacy, excellent money but an extremely hard ciriculum.

to decide which path to choose ask urself what type of working environment u can adapt... i personally hate hospitals and clinics as it reminds me of sickness and pain
