Default Qn don't make sense

Your question is apples and oranges.

A pharmacist is a pharmacist but an accountant can be many other things, ranging from venture capitalist to finance manager to CEO.

Second, few people have an equal ability to succeed in both fields. In other words, you are either good at chemistry and biology, or you're good at business. If you choose to do a degree you're not suited for, just because we tell you it pays more, you're gonna do poorly, and you will never achieve the income potential.

I would hope someone would provide me with some rough estimated numbers for the entry-level, 5-year and 10-year salary. Please include the benefits and bonuses one might enjoy in said occupation.

For Pharmacy, I would like to find out how much a Hospital Pharmacist (both government and private) and Commercial Pharmacist (Managerial Role in Pharmaceutical Company) would earn in a span of 5-years and 10-years.

Likewise, for Accountancy, I would wish to know how much an Accountant would take home if you were to work in the 1. Government Sector, 2. Big4, 3. SMEs.

TIA!
