Should i study pharmacy or diagnostic radiography?

Hello,I hope you okay, I have just had 2 offers in two different universities in the UK. One is Diagnostic Radiography and the other is Pharmacy. I have not been able to make a decision. Which of these two is preferable. I know pharmacy has a higher salary, and more years of studies while Diagnostic Radiography has higher job prospects, 3 years of studies though its salary is lower.
Please could any one advice me on which of the courses is better?

I had loved medicine or dentistry though, but my grades did not suffice.


thanks a ton.
Which one did you eventually choose? Which university did you go?

Do a work placement for both courses & see where you enjoy yourself the most. I am currently a radiography student but has been working as a pharmacy advisor for a while now. If I’ve had the change to get back, I would definitely choose pharmacy. It’s less stressful & enjoyable career where as with radiography it’s quite physically demanding job.
