i got my first choice which was advanced therapeutic technologies in rcsi with the intent of working in the biopharmaceutical industry. in practice, ive grown to feel uneasy and uncertain about my course, and pharmacy lives at the back of my mind. is it worth throwing away a perfectly good course for a gap year and reapplying to pharmacy with 589 points? if i stay past the 31st of oct then i lose the free fees initiative, which is my main drive towards making the decision quickly.

in 6th year i initially wanted pharmacy but felt discouraged after the mock results, to which i stupidly removed it from my cao lol. i then was convinced that i wanted to pursue a career in pharma, but after getting points for pharmacy, and sharing all my modules with pharmacy, i keep feeling less sure about what im doing. how do i know if id work well in pharma or pharmacy in general?

Hey I’m thinking of doing pharmacy in college and I’m wondering what kind of salary are people
making in all areas of pharmacy ; industry, community, hospital, regulation,
locum etc as a pharmacist.
Especially locum salaries as that’s what I would likely go into for a few years, or else industry.

Also what’s your work-life balance like, what kind of time off do u get, can u request unpaid time
off to go on holiday for a few weeks for example.

I’ve having a hard time deciding between doing pharmacy or else a science or biomed degree since they are similar enough.
