Hi,
I’m going into year 12 next year taking biology, chemistry and business for a levels. I was having a think of what course I would like to pursue at university as I think that if I have a brief idea on what i do at uni from now this would help me do suitable work experience, courses and volunteering through out year 12.
I’ve been settled in pharmacy for a while but now I’m rethinking itcomparing it with biomedical sciences and biochemistry.
I’ve read a few comments about pharmacy being a bad career as pharmacies are oversaturated, a pharmacy degree doesn’t open up wide career options and low payment. From my research I can see that pharmacy opens up a lot of career options other than working as a pharmacist in a community pharmacy e.g medical sales rep., clinical research associate ..
My questions are:
Does pharmacy open up wide career options or is it restricted to working at a pharmacy?
What sort of work experience do u need for biomedical sciences and biochemistry?
Generally speaking which of the three courses are better career wise and which are more interesting?
