I really have no idea what courses should i choose. I just don't like Physics that's why i don't intent to become an engineer.. .Can anyone please convince me to choose one of these courses?

Have you job shadowed either profession? Most people do this to determine if they really want to become a pharmacist, dentist, or doctor.

[joychin89]

What do you mean by job shadowed?

[Melitus]

Dentistry is easiyer to get into.
the paid is the same.
Dentist deals with stinky breath
Pharmacist can endanger a person life if instruction we're not given clearly


The only reason why I'm doing pharmacy is because med school is alot harder to get into, I have bad teeth...and which customer would come to a dentist with bad teeth?

What are you talking about? Dentistry is much more competitive than pharmacy and for good reason. They get paid more too. Pharmacists make like 70k after graduating and your salary doesn't go much higher. Dentists right after graduating make 100k easily working four days a week as an associate. If you own your own practice you can easily make 200k. If you become a specialist 300k is not out of the question.

To the op, if you're not good with your hands I don't recommend you go into dentistry.

Id much rather go into dentistry (which I'm trying to)

Was thinking about pharm, but then I realized I hate pharmacology
Memorizing all the spots for nerves and muscles will be a pain though

oh, and the high suicide rate is always in the back of your head

Job shadowing is following someone for a while so you can see if their profession is what you want to pursue

ill say... pharmacy seems easy, just passing out medicine, but getting into it is much harder. you have to do heck biological related classes from zoology to evolution and many more with chem and o. chem and regular physics with calculus and stats.

just imagine bio... all the stuff you need to know. from undergrad bio to grad bio. zoology, botany they are easy but then you hit cell bio, anatomy, micro bio. and then you have general chem to o. chem where its mainly carbons related molecules and u have to recognize each bonding just by looking at it. LOTS of memorization.

iono about dentistry but dentistry takes different classes nothing close to biology.

[w00tah]

uhhh... dentistry is also big on biology...

A lot of biology majors become dentists

FYI, if you are going into any medical field. You will have to take Physics. I know pharmacy does since I was looking into that major before becoming an engineer. I'm the opposite of you since I hated chemistry.

[starch]

do you have to choose now? sounds like you prob have a couple years to figure it out.

[joychin89]

^

No,i don't have much time. I have to decide asap so that i can start applying for Uni/scholarship/loan.. .It's so difficult to choose...i mean,this course would determine what i'll be doing in the future and i don't know whether will i actually enjoy it our not.. >.<. I really envy those who knows what they want to do..

Yeahh.. Pharmacy requires physics and I'm pretty sure you need it for dentistry too.


and a lot of people change majors. I know a lot people who switched out of bio after their first year when they've wanted to become doctors since they were little.
