Honestly, there are three great choices in my book depending on you as an individual.
Pharmacy requires a lot of schooling. Everyone thinks its only a six year program, yes correct but only if you get into the program. It is mandatory to have a bachelors degree to enter the program with the preequisites required. It also quires an entrance exam I believe and an interview considering all the programs are from 4 year universities. It pays well especially with starting pay. There are pharmacists who don't like their job because well it doesnt fulfill them regardless of the pay because they think they are underappreciated or feel not enough patient interaction. Then, the unappreciation part is basically everywhere really. You need to be highly knowledgeable about chemistry and biology considering every drug can interact with the patient in some way adversely and normal wise.
Nursing seems the field that everyone is flocking into and it still is demand in the future regardless. Depending on your state, it does pay very well even starting wise especially if you have a union. All you need to enter this field is really a hospital based program diploma or a ASN and of course pass the NCLEX. There are many opportunities in nursing. However, it is a lot of hard work and there are nurses who leave the profession because they hate it so much due to the stress or their parents just force them to do it. It requires a lot of patient care but I've seen nurses who have a personality of a mute and still does nursing even though it would deter the patient's care really. Of course, there are still nurses who love their job for whatever the reason they have.
Medical technology , I would say is an underappreciated medical profession really. In all honesty, they should have federal minimum standards how to really become a medical technologist and make the national test for medical technology, not voluntary but mandatory. They diagnose and take tests of serum, blood, and etc to figure out the patient's pathology, etc. I believe every good MT would tell you it is more than just looking at the paper to tell you what this blood sample means whether it is positive or negative but the clinical aspects of it for the patient. Even if you don't want to become a MT, they have the preequisites already to become a MD really. Unfortunately, I spoke to a fellow MT during my work and told me the field of medical technology is saturated and it is really hard to find a j ob right now. She also said in order to be marketable, you need to take a lot of tests just to get a job in quotes by her; as a result, she doesn't want her son to go to the field. To be a MT, you do require a Bachelors degree of Science with their loads amount of preequisites similar to pre-med.
