Hi everyone...I am in quite the "pickle" with my family over my career choice in becoming an optometrist. I love the profession and the lifestyle that comes with it. My family, however, doesn't wan't me to become an optometrist because they say that it is not a respected profession, and that there is no money in it. They say, "Your only making $100,000 a year, that is nothing compared to other doctors." I really pisses me off listening to them over and over...and it has got me really thinking whether I have made a right career choice.
For all of the canadian optometrists out there, can you please tell me the pros that come with being an optometrist here in canada (I live in western canada) and the type of salary I can expect, so that I may shut my parents up once and for all. LOL!!!
