If you couldn't do optometry, then what would you be doing?

Title says it all.

I'd imagine something in business or real estate for me.
What about everyone else? any regrets or second thoughts?

Orchestra teacher, science teacher, high school or college counselor, or something to do with microbiology.

For a while, I had a really hard time trying to figure out what I wanted to do because there are things I enjoy in a variety of areas.

1st year I had second thoughts, but I was on an Rx that made me depressed. Once I stopped that, I started liking where I was. Now I'm still happy I chose optometry. Music at least can always be a hobby.

I am a happy optometrist -but if I had to choose something else, I really enjoyed chemistry in undergrad (general more than organic)...I think I would have become a general chemistry professor.😎

Sometimes I still wonder what it would have been like to take the MD route...I know that I can take on med school, but to take on another couple of years of residency is the question...

Hahah, yeah. Not all of us have that option, however.

Now I'm just a worm in the dark.
