I'm 26 and I'm thinking about doing pharmacy, law, or med. I took intro Chemistry and Biology at my state school. My average for those was 3.2. My major was Econ and Math with a 3.5 GPA. If I did pharmacy/med, I'd have to do one to two years more of prepharmacy/med classes and before applying to a school.
I'm a mortgage loan officer, fluent in Spanish and French. Maybe I could volunteer for Medecins sans Frontieres. I'm leaning toward pharmacy. Law/med seem too competitive in school and when you graduate. I'd like to have a relationship and be happy doing my job for the rest of my life and time to run/climb. I don't care about prestige. I'd like good pay (~$80k). I'm a single guy and sort of quiet.
I'd start at 30 if I was a lawyer, 32 for pharmacist, 35 for doctor. Could prospects and salaries for pharmacists be worse in six years? Would language skills be useful/marketable in law? What prospects do lawyers have? What do you lawyers or pharmacists think? Doctors?

I think you need to take a serious look at yourself and try to imagine what job fits you, not what job will make high pay and leave you time off.
These three careers are dramatically different in the skills needed and the way their daily activities are carried out. Also, these are careers, not just jobs. You have to dedicate yourself to them. You sound much too random about how you are imagining yourself ambling into one of them and living happily ever after. These jobs are not going to be a panacea for you to resolve your life problems, get you a relationship, and make everything beautiful.
Your possible future in pharmacy or medicine can easily be decided: take organic chemistry. If you get A's both terms then you may definitely have a future there. if you don't, then head for law school, but you should be aware that most lawyers dont make $80k. With your language skills and understanding of the financial markets, there should be some place for you to do well, though.
I'd tend toward law if I were you....
