As a medical doctor u can be comfortable , bt u are nt assured of been rich , medicine is nt studied for money bt passion to care for people , as u can even treat patient with no cash, if u wanna be a gud doctor, d relief of ur patient is d first priority and dere relief and happiness will bring joy to you dats d satisfactin. Bt if u are after money sir, u may nt make it far as d stress in the job is greater than d pay. 5 Likes |

there are rich doctor, as well as not so rich doctors, we also have rich pharmacist and the not so rich ones. I am one of the 4 categories stated up here so I know what I'm saying. if money is ur goal. during ur training (either as a pharmacist or as a medical doctor) you will get frustrated. my advice- find your passion and follow it up I guess your passion is to be rich then plan for it like Dangote and co. I'm sure u know that there is no medical doctor or pharmacist in the first ten richest men on earth catal:there are rich doctor, as well as not so rich doctors, we also have rich pharmacist and the not so rich ones.

IZANAMI:Do you know that some (in fact many) doctors in government hospitals make close to 500k a month from private practices alone? Some as high as a million or more. So don't tell us that only pharmacists do marketing, doctors that own their own private hospitals count millions on weekly basis. It depends on your drive for money though. I think we have many doctors in politics too. Very many. 4 Likes 1 Share |

This is really a dicey one. Firstly, they both make decent pay. However, in federal hospital doctors are paid higher than pharmacists. Entry level ranges between 155k-170k. Whereas MO's entry start fron 210k+. But in privat3 and state hospitals doctors earn less. However, doctors are somewhat limited to the hospital setting. Very few venture outside this. As a pharmacist life isnt very rigid. You can decide to be a medical rep, open your pharmacy, work in a pharmaceutical industry while rent out your certificate to a pharmacy to be paid btw(500k-800k)per year while not working there. The pay for most of these jobs do not start at nothing less than 160k entry level except for repping where some multinationals can pay you up to 250 entry level. Community pharmacists make far more than dat tho. It just depends. If you prefer a much more variable experience with good pay go for pharmacy but if u do not mind a constant life in the ward throughout your existence go for medicine. 1 Like |

In Naija wer the regulatory arm of professional bodies ain't thorough enough, u see a doc performing the pharmacist's duties esp in hospitals. While most pharmist only get to be drug marketers and not manufacturers. Fact is that, there is an ever increasing need for med docs services than that of a pharmacist. 'Tryna survive hospitals' would rather employ one doc n pay him well for both services than employ both n pay much more. 3 Likes |

As a pharmacist, u can earn ya money in the govt hosp, less than a doc tho, and stil cash out by leasin ya licence to peeps who are nt pharmacist that open drug stores( easy cash)..buh den as a doc, if u are smart and wise, u can make a lot in a month with private hospitals esp in lag, 4gt story all u need is a storey buildin with basic hosp instruments and u good to go frm there u develop and expand, I av a frnd who's a nurse, dude makes notin less dan 1m a month, omo if d market con sell wella,surgeries lik caesarian section enta wella he makes notin less dan 1.5m and he doesn't even hav a big hospital, now not to talk of som1 who's a certified doc. I knw of a certain hosp in gbagada dt doesn't mak less dan 30m frm HMO's alone not to talk of public patient/client.. To me if u hungry and hardworking as doc, u'll mak a lot of money and dt means you have to go outta the govt hosp setting to mak dis kinda big cash. 3 Likes |

KingRex1:in this era of pharmaceutical care, pharmacist are well appreciated by health insurers because when drug therapy is optimised, the cost of care is reduced. Even those areas once considered as core medical practice are being given to the pharmacists. The scope and areas of pharmacy practice has expanded greatly over the years. |

Consider the time, money and effort to get either degree. Either way, their salaries suck. But if you can turn either one into a profitable business, you will be ok. The salaries depend on if you get paid at all. Apparently, salaries in arrears is an acceptable practice in Nigeria. / |

oga if it is money that you are looking for, forget medicine there is no money in that field as much as people think. A young guy in other fields has a potential of getting richer than an average doctor on a long run. So very well, if it is money Medicine can't do it. especially if u compare the amount of work u have to put into it before the 'big' money u will get comes, mehn u are better off selling cement, real estate and other budding fields but pharmacy won't be a bad idea too. |
