I went back to school knowing that I wanted to do pre-professional coursework. I also decided it was best to get a bachelors to increase the chances of getting into school and as something to fall back on. I was actually thinking for a long time that I would want to do optometry. But I decided I didn't feel like asking "which one looks better, camera one or camera two?" I know it is a little more involved in that, but I decided that pharmacy involves more chemistry and biology, and more of the even cooler stuff like pharmacology, medicinal chem, etc. The thought of medical school crossed my mind briefly. However, I didn't feel like being that hard core and getting completely burned out. As a pharmacist I would also still be in a position where I could help educate the general public and learn about geeky things that stimulate my cerebrum.
