Answer: There is a future in both professions. Pharmacist-Very good employment opportunities are expected for pharmacists. \nEarnings are high, but some pharmacists work long hours, nights, weekends, and holidays. \nPharmacists are becoming more involved in making decisions regarding drug therapy and in counseling patients. \nA license is required; the prospective pharmacist must graduate from an accredited college of pharmacy and pass a State examination. \nA physical therapist---Employment is expected to increase much faster than the average, as growth in the number of individuals with disabilities or limited functioning spurs demand for therapy services. \nJob opportunities should be particularly good in acute hospital, rehabilitation, and orthopedic settings. \nAfter graduating from an accredited physical therapist educational program, therapists must pass a licensure exam before they can practice. \nNearly 6 out of 10 physical therapists work in hospitals or in offices of physical therapists.
