Physician Assistant or Pharmacist?
I'm not sure how the job outlook is on both of these occupations in the next 10 years. Can someone comment on the job securities and the competition to get into the programs in college?
Update:not trying to bash pharmacy schools...but reading through pharmacy forums saying that pharmacy demand is decreasing is a bit discouraging. any info?

I would go with Physician Assistant as more people are going to need health care. Pharmacy is not good as things are being automated and prescriptions will be filled by robots. If you think about it, all pharmacists are are just package handlers as drug stores save money by buying in bulk.
