"From a Pharmacist practicing for over 8 years and owns her own premises I’d advice you to stick with Radiography ..two of my siblings are radiography students and a third one is about to join them as a radiography student… You would understand someday …wishing you all the best in your academic journey."

"Radiography is now the new hotcake. Pharmacy is beautiful but Radiography na hotcake….you might not earn as good as a pharmacist but you’ll earn well in and out the country so going back to school for pharmacy is a waste of time (but it’s your choice tho)."

Eyong John said:

"never say never till u die. I dream of studying at least 5 medical Programs. on my 2 now, already a medical laboratory graduate and now a 4th yr medical student."

Mr Buch said:

"Never ever give up on your dreams. As a pharmacist, it would have been better you repeated that year and gotten ahead in your desired pharmacy course than changing to radiograph and again hoping to start afresh to study pharmacy. There’s no hurry in life. Once you graduate, everyone becomes the same level again. There’s no such thing as age or time running out in education. You can be 40 and still get into a bachelors program."
