    They would both be handy qualifications to have. I'm pretty sure the salary would be somewhat similar so go with whichever career you would prefer. I've always liked the idea of working in a pharmacy and having all the old grannies coming in asking for stuff and you if you really knew your stuff you could be quite helpful!
    On the other hand if you have a thing for listening to drills all day dental nursing is for you!

    Where are you applying for these courses?
    I worked as an unqualified dental assistant a few years back and i absolutely loved it. I picked up everything on the job, a great way to learn. I applied through cao to do it at TCD but didn't go and kind of regretted it since.
    I also worked as a pharmacy dispensary assistant and picked that up quickly too. You get used to hearing the names of medicines and reading doctor's handwriting ha :P
    Both jobs are well paid especially when you qualify and (this was the case when I worked in these areas) healthcare jobs are usually reliable as an income.
