'cause those are d two key aspects which the government n the people place more importance on in medical field in this part of the world.

It's not as if MLS or Pharm isn't good too, but as u are after career prospect, tins might later get shiity in these two areas (if u are not well connected).

MLS for instance are still finding it tough to get license, cos before u can get an opportunity for internship, u need connection. Little space are available n plenty graduates are out there.

The real problem with Pharm is that ppl do not see them as a vital part of the medical field (compared to Doctors n Nurses), to get a job may be a bit tough, but if u av backup, u are business oriented n u can get capital to start a pharmacy, well, things might turn out well at the end of the day.
