Hello,
I am considering going back for optometry...
I currently have an undergrad in Journalism with a 3.01 gpa.. (right on the line)
In any case I've weighed the different professions and to me optometry seems like a pretty good deal.
1. can own your own business
2. get paid well
3. work regular hours
I currently work in tech support after trying my had in advertising and hating it.
In any case, can someone get back to me here about the pros and cons of being a optometrist? How difficult is the school aspect (getting in and staying in) as opposed to other medical type degrees? Is being an optometrist fun? How easy is it to start your own practice? Any other things I might not be considering, do tell!
