Feedback on potential career choices?
I've been considering several careers to go into in the future. Could anyone offer some feedback on the paths I'm considering? Including: salary/hourly wage, years of schooling/practice, career opportunities, likelihood of quality employment, etc., especially comparing these in each field against each other?
I know it's a big question...but I'm looking for some help that's not straight off of google (at least for now).
What I'm considering:
--Pharmacy
--Pediatric dentistry
--Veterinary (herpetology & mammals)
--Psychiatry
Thank you!

In terms of info. that's not "straight off Google," I can offer you a little bit of insight. In terms of salary, I think dentistry is your best option of the above. Also, if you get into a good practice, I know they often have very good hours.
If I was looking at the "best bang for your buck" I would probably go with pharmacy, because of several factors:
1) Good pay (average pharmacist makes $100,000-120,000 per year)
2) Good hours (if you work at a retail pharmacy, especially one that isn't 24 hours)
3) Good career opportunities - the pharmacy industry is always growing, and there is a growing need for pharmacists (especially in rural areas)
I know I couldn't answer your questions for each career choice, but hopefully this helps a little.
