my Math marks are good. if you need to know
I'm in my 5th year of Pharmacy(6th is the doctorate), it all depends on what you like. Pharmacy will offer you a decent amount of money, a laid-back job, and overall, a more anonymous, but great, life-style. I worked in an inpatient pharmacy in a hospital as part of my internship before pharmacy school 4 years ago, and basically, my job(worked as pharmacist-in-training, didn't have to do everything) required me to make sure everything got to where it was needed, and to make sure that the robot was running(had to preform tests twice a day), to make sure we were stocked up on everything, to make sure the correct medicines were on the correct racks for the robot, and to pin everything(basically, get plastic bag, put a label on the specified area, run it through the robot, put in a tube, and send it to whatever floor). It wasn't the most exciting job, and the robot did make a bit of noise, but, I personally enjoyed it. The pharmacist who I reported to was a nice person, didn't make me do too much, but, there really wasn't too much to do, as we were overstaffed and covered. There was a particular area they called the lab, where they crushed stuff, refined powders, etc, but, I never got the chance to use it.

E: Forgot to mention, printing the labels/getting new ones(usually did them when 5 requests or more were accumulated) was done through a computer, and I only actually moved roughly ~10 feet at maximum.

My late uncle was an architect, but, I don't personally know much about it.

Agreed Take what we say like a grain of salt. If you were to listen to us an ended up with a job and degree you didn't like, are you going to come back and blame us? So gather all the research you can and reach for the skies.

Well, I've been planning to go to the Art Institutes in Seattle, WA for the last year or so. I'm either going to study Graphic Design or something like Game Design. I'm not heart-set on this yet, but I enjoy both of those subjects, and it seems like they would be fun for a career.

I also believe that Game Designers make more than Graphic Designers, but I don't know. These are just ideas I have right now. I might change my mind later.

While it is important to look at the obvious benefits of both jobs, don't only think about them. If possible, attempt to find a job shadow for both jobs so you can get an idea of what you'll be doing and find out which you enjoy more.

Think of a career as something you enjoy doing, have gathered experience over time in and will carry through with you throughout life, and a job as something you're doing just to get paid.
