I am currently in high school going into grade 11 very soon and in grade 11 you start to take prep. Courses for Uni./College. I have some questions about optometry as I am considering becoming one.
· What classes should I take in high school (Esp. Grade 11 and 12) (In grade nine my math avg. is 73 and my grade 10 sci. mark is 72 and my grade 10 math i havent took yet, also my semster 1 avg is 78) EDIT:Are these marks even good to enter uni. because my parents say i need higher marks?
· How is the lifestyle of an optometrist?
· Do you enjoy what you are doing?
· Is the salary good? (although this does not really matter but I am wanting to make at least 85-95k+ a year)
· I know there is only two schools for opt. in Canada, one being in Waterloo and other being in Quebec, and because I can't speak/read good French I am only left with waterloo. Is the competiton hard to get into schools for the U.S.A or Canada
· Is it easier to go international for opt. School and then come back and do like a extra year or test to be a opt. (like uk or Asia)
· What classes I should take in uni. (before entering opt. school)
· Avg. marks to get into uni. For undergrad (before entering opt.) and for opt. School?
· Is it better to work in Canada or US. Which makes better money U.S opt. or Canada Opt.(again doesn't really matter)
*: The bold is the question and the un-bold is more info. on the question
It be better if a Canadian doctor answer this or someone who knows a lot about Canadian opt. However, it does not really matter.
I know its a lot of questions but if you can even answer one of them it would be easier for me to make my career choice as my school says its good to start to decide what you want to be in grade 10 going into grade 11 so then you can choose the proper courses.
