Hi everyone,
I am currently an IT engineer, having studied at Canada's most prestigious and hardest engineering school. By the end of my university career I swear my lifespan had shortened by 5 years from the stress/lack of sleep/eating granola bars for breakfast/lunch/dinner (seriously!!). I have been deeply traumatized and I swore I would never do it again.
However, now that I have graduated, I hate my job. I get a respectable salary, but I hate how my goal at work is nothing other than to make rich companies become even richer. I want to help people, but I cannot stand med/dentistry or even pharmacy. I have started to look at going into Optometry at either UofWaterloo or UdMontreal (I am fluent bilingual).
So assuming I even get accepted, how hard is optometry school in Canada? Does it involve many sleepless nights, high failure rate, huge stress, etc? I will be at least 27 when I start optometry school, maybe married by then, and unfortunately I will not be able to afford a hardcore studying lifestyle anymore
Thanks for all the help!
