should I go back to school for optometry ???

[chocolate__shoulders24]

Hi! I'm currently thinking of what I want to do with the rest of my life, I'm 23 years old, I'm an optical technician at Costco, and tbh I considering going back to school to become at optometrist, I have my ABO & NCLE so I feel I have a very basic concept in the optical field , but I will be basically starting from scratch, I only have like a semester of community college under my belt that I took when I was 19, & I would still like to keep my full time hours at Costco as an optician while I go to school. Kinda figure I'll be done with school by the time I'm like 35, 36 maybe, is that too late?? This is all really new to me , so any help? Please? lol how's med school like, will I be able to shuffle a full time job with that, do you recommend it? Thanks!

You might want to try this question in the pre-optometry forum. This is the pre-med forum (for DO and MD).
Best of luck with whatever you decide though!
