Pharmacology vs. Microbiology

[JDbb]

So I decided that one or the other will be my back-up back-up plan.
Since I'm equally interested in both fields, which one actually has the better salary? Judging from Google and these forums, it seems like you need to have a PhD in Pharmacology before you can earn a salary equivalent to a Pharmacist, whereas a microbiologist.. I couldn't find much information about them. Could anyone help?

And sorry if this is in the wrong forum, not sure where to put it.

I think Microbiology. You can be a public health microbiologist or CLS and make a good living. You can't do much with a pharmacology bachelors; perhaps a lab tech or research associate for a pharmaceutical/biotechnology company. In fact, I don't think many schools offer a pharmacology BS.

Nevertheless, it is your decision. It would be foolish for my opinion to influence yours. Talk with some of your college advisers and do research on your own.
