I have recently gotten out of the Marine Corps after serving 4 years and have finished one year of community college. I am at the point where starting next quarter I have to choose a path for either Nursing or Pharm because of prereqs to transfer to universities (also considering dental and optometry but to my understanding they have similar pathways for the point I'm currently at).
Pharmacy really appeals to me as a job and from the pay, but all I hear is that the job security is terrible, along with many medical professions. I am wondering how dental, optometry, and nursing compare in terms of job security.
I also always hear about how being a veteran will help get you a medical job. Does anyone know how legitimate this is? Hoping that maybe I won't have to worry about the job security as much as most. However, my military experience had nothing to do with the medical field.
I am sure there are similar threads to this one, but assumed mine may be a little unique considering the military experience.
