what is a pharmacist - choosing a degree

hello,

I'm resisting my A levels and last year i applied to do biomedical science, but didn't get the grades for it. It has always been my dream to study dentistry, i did the ucat in 2022 and got really bad, so i thought of doing dentistry postgrad and doing an undergrad in biomed.

Then i did bad in my a levels and now im retaking, now im kind off lost because if i want to dentistry i have to do apply to biomed. But i have never really had that passion and urge to do Biomed, i was just going to do it as a gateway to dentistry.

Im rethinking my choices now. the main reason why i am rethinking is because my family is currently renting and it has always been their dream to buy a house, but they have gotten old and are unable nor have the funds to buy a house. So me and my sister who is roughly the same age, have to buy a house.

To do this realtvely quickly i need a stable job, and if i do Biomed which is 3 years and my dream which is 5 years that's 8 years of studying meaning i will be 27 when it all finished. And i can't do anything with my biomed degree in between because to qualify as a biomedical scientist i need to do an extra year of training or something. So i would be nearly 30 if i was to do that. On top of this, i would need to fund the post-grad degree in dentistry, the gov doesn't help greatly with it.

Hence why, i have looked into pharmacy, as it would provide me of a stable job and also allow me to achieve the goal of buying a house. It would also mean that i can rely on dentistry if the pharmacy doesn't go to plan. The problem is i have no idea what pharmacy is and feel the same about it as biomed, the initial attraction isn't there. And does a pharmacist just work behind a till and hand out medicines, is there nothing else to it, or is there like different types of pharmacists?
