<p>Do JD grads of a big law make an average of what pharmacist make?</p>
<p>(ex: university hospital or johnson and johnson) </p>
<p>starting salary?</p>
<p>Very few newly minted attorneys make less than a newly minted pharmacist. You would need to be in environmental law or something like that to make that situation occur.</p>
<p>I think there needs to be a caveat about this - we're only discussing what a Harvard JD is worth compared to "any" PharmD. </p>
<p>To be sure, a PharmD from any US Pharm school will be, on average, worth more than a JD from an extremely large number of Law schools. However, a T14 JD, will be more valuable - generally.</p>
<p>There are always exceptions - like environmental law apparently for Harvard grads - but medical degrees (PharmD, MD, DO, DDS) have a lot more stability than a JD is, but the price for that fairly guaranteed salary is that there is less earning potential at the upper limit. There are lots of JD's who make millions of dollars a year, there are very, very few physicians or pharmacists who make more than a million. But there are also a lot of JD's (not necessarily from Harvard mind you) that are making $30k a year (or worse can't find a job), whereas that's unheard of for a doctor. </p>
<p>Further, we're experiencing shortages of nearly every medical professional, but there's an overabundance of lawyers.</p>
<p>so let me get it, the degree is worth more but the salary is less?</p>
<p>what do cardiologists really do? Salary in NYC? Are they surgeons or internal medicine doctor?</p>
<p>I really don’t know about this because I want to become a lawyer but I am considering internal medicine, what’s the highest paid specialty in internal medicine?(NYC)</p>

<p>You're not even in college yet, are you?</p>
<p>Spend some time researching the fields you're interested in. Talk to people actually in them, take some classes or visit your college's career center/advisor.</p>
