pros and cons of being a radiologist, compared to being a pharmacist?

I only know about pharmacy so I'll tell you about that.

Salary:$100,000 give or take is the range, but I think about $106K (+/-) might be the average (not sure about starting).

Education: 2 years undergrad, PCAT around the beginning of that 2nd year since almost every single pharmacy school requires it, and 4 years of professional training, the last year you are mainly paying for work experience.

Work/Effort: Obviously not physically demanding, but a lot of standing. I've also heard not a lot of time for lunch. It has a normal amount of working hours, but there seems to be quite a bit of opportunities for overtime [or so I've heard] (depending on how well staffed the pharmacy you are going to work at is). Some pharmacists work nights, and some are relief pharmacists which go to different pharmacies to help out when their pharmacists are gone. The job requires EXTENSIVE pharmaceutical knowledge (hence the 4 years of pro. training) and helping make sure the people understand their medicines and answering any questions they have. Pharmacy techs and aides handle more of the menial stuff. If you want to move up in pharmacy (which there is little opportunity for), it would be into a management position or being the head pharmacist.

Schools: You can either choose a 6-year which has undergrad and professional together and you automatically get into the pro program or 2 undergrad and taking the PCAT and hope to get accepted to the PharmD program of your choice. University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill and I think University of Texas at Austin are 2 of the top schools (not saying they are the top 2 or always are, but they are always near the top). All pharmacy schools are VERY competitive, so be prepared. I think some schools have as many as or more than 10 applications for every spot. Pharmacy schools are also a lot smaller than many colleges or they are a small section of a larger school.

Getting Licensed: I believe their is a national exam and maybe some states also have their own exam for getting licensed. I haven't really looked much into this aspect, sorry. Check the Bureau of Labor Statistics website.

Oh you're from Canada, so licensing is probably different there and all the salary amounts are USD. I'm not sure what is different about pharmacy in Canada and I am not sure if anything about the education is different either. Everything I did was US, so unless you are planning to go to school in the US, it might be different...

It depends if you do decide to become a pharmacist then you get to help people about their prescriptions and any questions you might have. Becoming a Radiologist has alot more to deal with because you are responsible for all of the patients welfare's.I work with a great team of radiologists at work, they are sometimes overwhelmed because of the work they have but they feel great knowing that they helped a patient with their health concern. Pharmacology is probably easier to get into because when you think about it med school takes at least probably 4 or more years.
