Pharmaceutical science Vs. Biochemistry Vs. Pharmacology Vs. Pharmacy

Without meaning to sound like an arse, you should really be asking yourself which you'll enjoy most and which you're best at rather than which pays the most money and whih is resected.

Generally, if you enjoy the subject, you're better at it. If you're good at what you do (this applies to pretty much everything) you gain respect for it and your skills will be rewarded with £££.

I can only speak from the POV of a pharmacy person. I have found a job for when i (hopefully) pass my degree already, and there are loads of jobs about for pharmacists, so it is kind of reassuring to know that you shouldn't be jobless when you finish.
theres only 16 pre-reg places available in industry though, so you have to be pretty special to get one of those.

From other people i know though, if you are really interested in money, go into computery stuff. they get paid loads more than most pharmacy people do.

Enjoyment is not a factor I consider important

Howmany jobs have you had?
If you dont like something, you will eventually despise it. Its very difficult to continue a profession you grow into not being able to stand. You dont have to love every single second of a job, but it has to be something you partially enjoy in order to maintain it.

You can get £60k locuming as a pharmacist.

Actually I worked it out the other day when I was trying to get to sleep. sad I know...

Anyway, supposing you earn £33-35/hour (which is about the top end going rate), and you work 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, for 45 weeks a year (yes 7 weeks annual holiday! ) - works out about £60K, then you need to take off tax, NI and expenses (travelling, etc.)

Before you consider becoming a locum pharmacist though, have a read of this - http://www.pjonline.com/Editorial/20050416/society/statcomm.html#6 - highly amusing

I have an interest in all of these subjects and would like someone to please give me their opinion on which of these subjects they consider 'better' and why.

I think its,
Pharmacy >Pharmaceutical Science>Biochemistry>Pharmacology
Of the four that you have chosen Pharmacy is definitely 'better', as you can see from the replies; its well paid, varied and generally an intense course. Pharmaceutical next bcos it focuses on drug production, so likely to get work in pharmaceutical companies i.e-gsk
Biochemistry-also varied course BUT isn't as intense as pharmaceutical (as i've been told), and lacks focus...can work anywhere after u graduate.
Pharmacology-is just the study of drugs ...basically with minimal job oppurtunities this degree is for those who purely have interest...and minimal ambition

So r u sayng Pharmachology is not a very easy-get Job? I'm going to decide to accept a course soon and i dun wanna do the wrong choice. I got unconditional offers for Medical biology, and 2 Pharmachology. Pls give me some ideas
