Pharmacist VS Dentist

A pharmacist and a dentist.. whats their difference?
First and foremost the dentist deals with oral care while the pharmacist deals with drugs, dentist study 5 years, pharm' study 4 year, dentist this, pharmc' that.. bla-bla-bla

Skipping the irrelavant parts. Here is the REAL BIG HUMONGOUS difference between a pharmacist and a dentist. A fresh graduate pharmacist earns 2.7k excluding allowances. Upon finishing the 1+2 goverment shit, we would probably go out and most likely find a job that pays 4-5k. 20 years down the line, we, pharmacist probably might own one community pharmacy and have some investments here and there and IF we are good (lucky, smart, sociable, skilled, well connected, have good selling skills) we would be very pleased to know that we would draw quite a big sum of approximately 20k ++
You are probably smilling from ear to ear knowing this, but just read on to know more about our colleagues, the dentist.

Well, sure dentists have more to study since its a 5 year course, and naturally, their starting pay is higher than ours, which is about 2.8k without allowances (of course their allowances are more meaty than ours). But the amazing part is that after a dentist specializes, how much would you think they would earn? 20? 30?
NO, as a matter of fact, they earn 60k/month

HOW IN THE BLOODY HELL CAN A PHARMACIST EARN 60K?! of course we exclude the possibilities of discovering a new drug and registering a new patent coz its highly unlikely. You can also debate to say that several people with minimal education have rised to the top and earned millions, well, but face the fact - the general population do not belong to the group of "one in a billion" people.
So, cutting out all impposible options, whats left is only bank robbery that earns 60k a month.

But anyway, healthcare professionals should not be bothered about monetary gains, so lets continue practicing TDM calculations so we will be successful pharmacist in the future (who earn RM2700 a month)
