Some pros to becoming a pharmacologists would be the high salary, the flexibility of the job, and job security. The pharmacologists are compensated to the work that they do. The salary is very high for a pharmacologist that just graduated college.

Some cons would be the extent of school that has to be attended just so that someone can get their degree or their license just so they can get a job as in the field. Also sometimes the duties that pharmacologists have are not constant throughout all the jobs, this would require them to learn something new every time they switch jobs.
