With your healing, do you like to stop damage from happening, or do you like to react to damage as it happens. Whm is a reactionary healer, having big forward numbers to perform healing as damage happens. Scholar is a preventative healer, working to mitigate damage with clever use of shields and special healing abilities. They don't get the "big" numbers that whm does, but they heal before the damage happens to prevent the damage in the first place.
Which resonates more with you? in my case, I have a preference of whm, however I have good friends that are amazing scholars, both are in demand, just find your place!
