Less school loans. More jobs.
Software engineering also gives you a much better quality of life. You actually get to sit at a desk, work at a slower pace, and don't have angry customers berating you all day, which are one some of the main reasons so many of us prefer to work in hospital over retail where the majority of the jobs are. Software engineers also get lunch breaks if not catered gourmet meals, whereas retail pharmacists are often lucky to even have the opportunity to eat lunch.
