<p>You have a good list of pros and cons, OoovooO. If you have “very poor learning stamina” (post #2), pharmacy would be no more feasible as a career choice than medicine. I have recommended students for pharmacy programs at the graduate level. Most of them have had college GPAs of 3.9 and up. These were not students who had “mediocre abilities in medicine.” </p>
<p>I do think that pharmacy might be less stressful as a career–at least in the sense that you rarely have to make rapid-fire choices that will have a great influence on the patient’s health outcome–although the quality of your more deliberate work will certainly influence health outcomes. Also, as a pharmacist, you would not have to work in an emergency room setting, or perform surgery.</p>
