What price for the Doctorate in Optometry is no longer financially worth it? 150k? 200k? 250k? 300k?

I've heard that the ROI isn't great and you're drowning in debt as an optometrist.
 
This is why having a passion for the career is so important. For many people the numbers just don’t make it worth it. If you don’t see yourself doing anything else, absolutely it’s a fulfilling and incredible career.
