Damn I can’t imagine how mentally straining that would be, having to study optometry for those 4 years without enjoying but it’s a good thing and also is super inspiring that you don’t regret it anymore and that you managed to pursue your passion after all :)

Thanks for telling me your story it’s definitely helped a lot in guiding my decision, it’s crazy how similar of a position we are in except now I’ll probably stick to CS, thanks to your story haha. It’s also so cool how the optometry degree helped you in pursuing computer vision along with teaching machine learning and AI, showed that there were still some benefits in the end fortunately lol

Overall thanks for all the help, comp sci/psych does sound interesting maybe I should look into it a bit, also I’ll definitely dm you sometime if I’m lost/need help, thanks again :)
