Hi guys,
My cousin is thinking about applying to optometry schools, but wasnt sure if it's a good field in terms of respect, financial security etc? She shadowed an optometrist last month and found it interesting but wanted to make sure it would be worth the addl expenses as she is in her late twenties and already has loan debt from private undergrad. Plus she figured optometry would also give her the flexibilty in terms of hrs/lifestyle bc she wanted to have a family and the possiblity of owning own practice someday.
Any honest opinions/ advice is much appreciated!! Thanks
