I'm looking at my previous posts. Here are some of my thoughts:
I really enjoy ophthalmology. Patients are very happy with what we can do for them, even if it's giving out a simple pair of glasses! There are multiple surgical and medical interventions possible. Because the demands to be in the OR are not intensive, there's more time to pursue academic interests.

I needed a job during my post-bac and a woman that had a crush on me (I didn't have the same feelings for her) told me she just got a job working for 3 ophthalmologists in private practice. She told me they were still looking for techs so I applied and got the job, as well. The thought of being an ophthalmologist never crossed my mind. One look at the iris through the slit lamp and it was love at first sight 😍. No pun intended.
