Albert’s Answer
My life experience with this might be helpful to you. I was a pharmacist years ago before I became a physician. In those days there were very few women in pharmacy. Today there are many. I would surmise this is because of both compensation and lifestyle. As a pharmacist you will still be a part of the healthcare team, but in a more peripheral way than nursing. I changed my profession to medicine because I wanted to be more involved in caring for patients. This was after working as a both a hospital pharmacist and in retail pharmacy. So, you need to ask yourself the question "what do I want to do in my working life?" At a young age that question can be difficult to answer, but there's no rule that says you can't professional direction mid-course.
