A job that pays well. It’s not even close.

I wish I were in your shoes.Go to pharmacy school! You’ll always be able to feed yourself and your family. My experience (about 45 years spent in one school or another) is that even stuff you think is boring at first becomes interesting the more you find out about it.

Please don’t go get a degree that won’t help you feed your kids (when you have them). I love art too, I do, but please go to school for something that will give you financial independence. Art won’t do it; pharmacy will.

Whatever you decide, good luck!

I have had a good job that paid very well but the long hours and the constant demands at that job were very tough for me and my family. I was miserable so I found a different field to work in. The money is not the best but I am happier and that made all the difference in the world to me and my family. Goood luck. I know its not an easy choice but you will do the right thing.

Yes you really should ask your heavenly father about this and guide you.

You can do both! Since you are very creative you can do both.

Sounds like maybe your parents should go to school and be a pharmacist or anything that happens to be medical.

I think you should do what your heart and passion for life tells you to do.

I understand what your parents are saying, but you have to enjoy what you do. I believe we do what we love best. If you are a smart and talented person, I believe you will excel no matter what you choose to do. Your parents should have that faith in you.

when i was young i preferred to be payed well,the older i get i began to prefer the job i love

I think you should study to become a pharmacist and then become an artist at your spare time. There are just too many starving artists. There isn’t many starving pharmacist.

The advantages of becoming a pharmacist are:

1) Most jobs are 9-5 meaning that you will have time for family

2) It takes less time to finish and be licensed compared to dentistry

3) Most starting salary are 75-150k depending on location and need

4) You can get $1,000,000 malpractice insurance for only hundreds of dollars per year. compare that to medicine and dentristry

5) You will have a life and a job for the rest of your life

6) for more information

Compromise. There are medical fields that pay well and only require one or two years.
Major in that and minor in art.
I had a friend I went to school with for Respiratory Therapy. He had inherited some money and went to the U of Tex to study law. It was so expensive he had to quit after one year. No money coming in. So he answered an ad from a local Jr. College took a one year course in RT and went to work at a living wage and returned to school and is now a lawyer.
Work it out. There is always a compromise.

Uhhhhhh………..what do you think?

Is there anything that says you can’t be an artistic pharmacist? I am a pianist, my brother paints. Neither of us in starving to death in some rat-infested loft apartment.
