<p>I’ve been a physician for 25 years and I agree with poster # 14, only a few specialties in medicine make the really big money. In the future, physicians will increasingly be working indirectly for either an insurance company or the government. It is also true that pharmacists need a lot of schooling because traditionally pharmacists compounded drugs from a recipe (prescription) that a physician wrote. They still do some of that but not as much as before. You may want to check out a career either as a physician assistant or nurse practitioner. They involve less school but can be equally rewarding.</p>
