Hello Rya,

Hope you are doing well.

Forensic is obviously a good course but Pharmacy is a better choice. Career opportunities of Forensic are less as compared to Pharmacy. Pharmacy has a lot of career options. You can join various medical companies and different job opportunities are available in Pharmaceutical industries like in production, quality check etc. Otherwise, both are very good choice. Forensic in undoubtedly very interesting. It is all about crime and mystery. On the other hand, Pharmacy is regarding health issues.
