How many of you chose optometry because of a natural passion for the subject, as opposed to a practical career decision making process?
I have read many posts about people who "narrowed down" their career choices (primarily in the health professions) to optometry, rather than having always aspired to be an eye doctor. Did you find your prerequisite coursework to be intrinsically interesting, or just a step along the path to your career? Did you find that your interest in your undergraduate coursework was higher or lower than your interest in your graduate OD coursework?
