Hi my name is Arnold.I am currently a high school senior trying to figure out a major from the few I already have in mind- physiology,biomedical science, finance or business and If i should choose pharmacy or medicine. Some factors I am considering with these majors are job opportunities and if it will keep me financially stable if things don’t work out with medical school or pharmacy school. I have read a few discussions on how pharmacists pay will decrease due to the influx of new pharmacy students and opening of many schools, which has made me a little skeptical.I also want to do medicine but I don’t think I have the patience and there is way more competition.I just need some opinions on what path I should take from people with experience and knowledge with this sort of thing.I just don’t want to make a decision that might backfire in the future,leaving me in a predicament.
Physiology usually isn’t a major at most colleges, and neither is biomedical science.
A PharmD doesn’t take that much less time than med school: just like getting an MD, the course of study is 4 years long. You also have the option to do a residency in pharmacy, although I don’t know how popular that option is among students.
Pharmacists make a median annual salary of around $122,000. First of all, it’s difficult to accurately predict what the workforce of pharmacists may look like in the future and the concomitant salaries. Some evidence does point to the demand for pharmacists stagnating as companies automate more parts of the process, and the salaries associated with that having plateaued somewhat. But even if they do go down…pharmacists make a very comfortable salary, and even a decreased amount will still be a comfortable salary.
If you don’t have the patience and/or don’t want to compete in medicine, then don’t…it’s a hard field if you don’t have the ambition.
You don’t have to plan out your entire career now. There are more than two choices, of course - even if you wanted to stay within healthcare. But it’s pretty common for students to pick a major in their freshman or sophomore year of college and then figure out their first job later on in college, and then figure out their eventual career later still. Also, if we could all perfectly accurately predict what will succeed and what will fail, well then we’d have no problems 
But you can’t make your career and life afraid to take chances…so choose what you like and try to develop skills and gain experience that will help insulate you as much as possible.
