Careers In Medical Physics

Jordan Said:

What would be a good career for me?

We Answered:

You seem to contradict yourself.

You don't need to go to medical school to become an RN or to get your Doctorate of Pharmacy. You go to medical school to become a doctor.

I wouldn't recommend being an RN. Yes, they get paid well early on, but they peak early on as well only making about $30-ish an hour.

If you plan on becoming a Pharmacist, you will major in pharmacy in college. With just a Bachelor's, don't expect to get beyond working at the local drug store chain. You'd have to continue on in your studies to get your Pharm.D, which is just your Ph.D in Pharmacy. The pay depends on what you plan to do after you get your degree.

Physician Assistants are stuck in the same boat as RNs. They start off with excellent pay right out of school, but plateau after a brief period of time. However, this along with nursing is a job that's in high demand right now.

If you can devote the time, money and energy for it, I'd recommend looking into being a doctor (MD). Most likely, you'll come out of medical school with a nice amount of debt hanging over your head, but it'll be worth it in the long run.
