pharmacy or radiography

idk which one to do , but my main question is if anyone knows if you’re able to make a lot of money with radiography . obviously max salary is around 48k but i was wondering if you could ever privatise with radiography or do locum shifts like you do with pharmacy? thanks

Not sure where you have got the maximum salary figure, but consultant radiographers would be on NHS band 8 pay rate:

With regards to locum shifts, yes it is possible:

There are definitely options to work privately for Radiographers, either in private hospitals, remote locations in portable units, or for private companies working within NHS hospital grounds. I'd imagine there are bank shifts available aswell?

You can also go up to Band 8, there are differing positions within the banding scale for Rads, so 48k is certainly not the max salary.
