Hi
ever since childhood, I was interested in how the eye works and amazed that we could correct vision by the use of glasses. So I thought optometry could be a good career choice. but I have heard that optometry is no longer a field where you can make good money due to several reasons.
Then I thought about pharmacy. There are also people saying pharmacist no longer make loads of cash.
I don't want to be a dentist because I don't see myself fixing teeth all day.
I don't want to do medical school because it takes too long and with obama care, who knows what will happen.
I am interested in law (especially criminal law) but lawyers are also whining about how all their income has gone down. everybody's a lawyer these days.
so I don't know what to do at this point ....what should I do?
And I am fully aware that you cannot choose a profession based on money alone, and I am not doing that. But I believe your career decision should make sense financially too.
most importantly, I want to be my own man. Maybe I am wrong, but it seems to me with all these health professions, you are going to be the government's slave. Can I be my own man in pharmacy?
