Can I become a Pharmacist?
So I kind of want to become a pharmacist or Nurse. I don't like math at all. I always needed help in High School. And I don't really like science either. But I won't allow that to discourage me. I'm just a little scared that I will drop out if it gets too hard.
I wanted to do nursing because I want to travel (travel nursing) the world, work in a hospital, and help people. It's just nursing is something everybody does.
I'm the preppy, pretty girl type. I like my nails and hair done. And everyone suggest that I should work in a bank and wear business attire.
I know everyone always says "don't worry about the money." Well, I am! I will not be a bank teller my whole life making 25k a year when I can make 60k-116k.
So please help! Do you think I can make it as a pharmacist?
And how long is schooling usually? Do I necessarily have to be good in math?

Anything is possible but pharmacy requires a TON of math and science. We are talking about 3 semesters of calculus, calculus based physics, organic and physical chemistry, etc. Not like intro to biology that you take in high school. If you don't like math or science, you will HATE pharmacy. I promise. If you are really wanting a career in the medical field, nursing is okay but it still requires a decent amount of math and science. Maybe being a medical assistant or pharmacy technician would work for you better since those don't require much higher education in math and science.

I don't think you need. Certain grades to do anything. Unless your teaching the subject of what you no nothing about. You could be a brilliant nurse but struggle in maths and vis vuser. If you want a certain career the only person stopping you is your self. Aim high

yes. Anything is possible.
basics (2 to 4 years)
Doctor of Pharmacology (another 4)
Words of advice: learn to search google or some search engine. Get to like math. If you mess up you could kill someone. You'll have to know many of the basic sciences (ie chemistry, physiology, biology and a few more). When you graduate you'll make a butt load of cash.

Not to be rude but you don't sound like you would suit a job in the medical field. It sounds like you don't want to get your hands dirty and especially if you disliked science and wasn't the best at math. Math and science ARE the job. They are not negotiable. You can't be bad at math and then prescribe a patient a dosage that would kill them or be useless.
