I have done early childhood Ed. It is really great. I taught for five years. 2-3 year olds mostly, but then moved to first through third grades. If you like kids and can handle getting no pay for an 80 hours work week then do it.

I personal say you should go to school for Welding. If you are a good welder you can go anywhere in the world and get a job making really good money. I am making about $20 an hour right now and I just started.

Phram. Techs get good pay, but it can be hard finding a job.

So the choice is your. Do what you think will make you happy first, and what will make you money second. My grandfather always said "You will be better off doing something you love to do for less money than something you hate for all the money in the world."

I used to be a pharmacy major. I switched because I cant stand chemistry (as I found out 1st year). But then again - from the choices you provided, pharmacy is by far the most worthwhile. The other 2 are pretty useless

forget the pharmacy tech job. they don't get paid anything.


WHAT? In Cleveland area, they start out at around $70k. And Cleveland is the poorest big city in the country, so IDK what you're talking about.

they make roughly $20,000 - $25,000 here in north carolina starting out, as compared to a nurse that makes $30,000 - $50,000 starting out.

in fact, we have a policy of not even advertising for pharmacy techs at my hospital system because they're so abundant.

now, if you're talking about actual pharmacists, they make $50,000 - $90,000 straight out of college here in north carolina.
