Hello!
First and foremost, I do apologize if this isn't the right forum for these types of questions but next to reddit, this seems to be the next best place to ask these types of questions. Moving along...
I'm a recent graduate with a B.S in Chemical Engineering looking to pursue a career as an optometrist (it's a long story, I'm not going to get into it). Keyword there is "looking" - as of late, I've been having doubts on whether or not it is still a viable option for me. There is an over-saturation of optometrists in recent years, particularly in the state that I want to practice in (California). Optometry school to put me into between 230 - 300k in loans so I'm very worried about what my finances are going to be like post-opto school given that it's so hard to find a job. I was wondering if anyone here can give me some advice on my dilemma, as well as give me some insight on what the job market is like for opticians or give me some resources I can use to conduct my own research.
Any help would be much appreciated!
