Mils, if you don't like it...DON'T DO IT! I was in the same predicament but w/ optometry school. I finished 2 yrs of opt school and decided to take a leave of absence and pursue a career in medicine. I worked for a couple of optometrists (commercial and private practice) before I applied to opt school so I "thought" I'd like it. After a month on the job, I hated what I was doing b/c it was boring but I told myself it would be better when I went to opt school b/c
I'D be in charge; I'd be the one helping the patients.
Anyway, I'm blabbing and this may not even be your situation but when it comes down to it...if you don't like it...
GET OUT NOW! May 07 was the end of my optometric education; I stayed entirely too long bc I was scared to venture into the unknown. I thought staying in optometry school was the "safe" thing to to do b/c I
knew in 2yrs I'd be an O.D. and earning a descent living. In the long run, I ended up wasting $$$, getting depressed (b/c having something consume your life that you absolutely hate was stressful in itself; despite the fact that opt is EXTREMELY boring...to me), dropping my GPA and just a lot of crap I could prevented if I would have listened to myself.
Originally, I was going to go to med school (ophthamology) until I researched the amount of years it would take; I figured optometry school would be the next best thing. I shouldn't have worried about how many years would pass; I should have gone w/ what I was interested in. Anyway, sometimes, happiness isn't logical so I finished my finals, packed my bags and got the hell out of there!
I moved to a city I've never been before and started "soul searching". Apparently, I didn't know myself when I applied for optometry school so I figured a little soul searching was needed.
2 months later and after researching every career possible (sarcasm of course but pretty close to it), I decided that pursuing medicine is the only thing that's going to make me happy. So, the best of luck to you and go w/ your gut instincts; it'll save you thousands of dollars!
Wow, that was a long one...
