i can understand u asking these type of question, juz like most students will find a comfortable,rewarding n demanding profession 2 study...
one thing i wanna to mention is both MBBS n Pharmacy are health care profession, i think u should more focus on ur personal interest since u will service to whole community, u should hav more professional thinking rather than juz choose a more rewarding n demanding profession...

MBBS n Pharmacy is a health care profession which is the leading profession in the whole world, 4 me, only incompetent n lack of confident ppl will scare their profession is overflooded... but tis does nt mean i agree with these courses' low entry requirement in private uni which is the main reason which causes the doctor n pharmacy overflooded 4 future...
If u think u r competent 2 the job, please choose accept the challenge... All position/job/profession gt it challenge, n if u r the best, u sure will get a rewarding return..
If u think u r incompetent, pls dun step in health care profession, tis is a profession associate with human life n community health!!!

very sorry if i let any1 feel uncomfortable but i really feel sad when i c the frend bside me choosing course juz bcos the high salary n better future without a professional thinking, without a thinking 2 serve the community...
if a doctor n pharmacy only think about the money, den can imagine a situation of doctor/pharmacist dispense many medicine 2 a patient which only get a mild cough since the doctor/pharmacist wan 2 sold out their medicine?

Lastly, i hope u find ur best way 2 continue ur study...good luck n all d best..

Haha, no worries.. Thanks for your advice. You've spoken in a way that sounds more comfortable unlike some people who were rude to me without understanding the whole situation. I understand how u feel becos all my friends are like that. Some don't have good results but still insist on doing it without thinking abt what they will be dealing with which is HUMAN LIVES and some who just want to study becos apparently, they think that it gives good income or others thinking that they're gonna help people in this profession without thinking abt whether they can really help.

I've talked to many people in the profession and I definitely knows that being a doctor does not offer a VERY good income. And i'm very disappointed with how Malaysia opening so many private universities allowing all sorts of students as long as they've got the money to enter MBBS or Pharmacy. I can't imagine how our hospitals and healthcare field will be like in 10 years time. But i'm definitely not going to it for the income. The working condition is quite bad and income is not so good, that's a fact that many do not know. It's not as rewarding as many think it is too.

But I'm thinking so bcos I'm from a average family. So I need to depend on financial aids and all. That's why i need to find out is it true that doctors will be jobless like how many have said in 5 to 10 years time, bcos if we're jobless then there will not even be a chance for u to be competent. On top of that, I'm not going into a reputable university. When I come out I'll have to carry the burden of my family income, that's the reason why i'm asking for advice above there.

By the way.. Has anyone heard about studying Bpharm in Manipal? Is it recognised in Malaysia and other countries?
What about Taylor's 4 years local?

i going to continue my study in bachelor of pharmacy, but anyone know any vacancy in private hospital for assistant pharmacist?want to work during holiday or maybe few years~ help me..btw, gov pharmacist around 3.5k only after tolak kwsp etc..u need 4 years contract with gov before you can work at private sector~

you won't be jobless that's for sure. There will always be places for you in the rural areas.

The question is are you willing to serve there?

You need to have a diploma in pharmacy to work as a pharmacy assistant.

3.5k not enough? Almost all the fresh grads from other sectors have salaries less than 3k.

And what gives you the idea that the private sector will have greener pastures?

i don't think private hospitals are taking in people with diplomas nowadays as there are already many pharmacist with degrees nowadays. maybe you can try government hospitals?

i got offer from kpj tawakkal before basic rm1800 + allowance so total around RM2300 but i was studying so have to decline the offer lol..
yah i think hard to get an offer from private but based on my experience still have private hospital need AP cause usually pharmacist in private do not do outpatient dispensing..^^

wah diploma holder even higher pay than some of the degree holder out there

eh got la...

sunway or sjmc outpatient dispensing still pharmacist what...pharmacist in private hospitals can't do much one..
