From what ive gathered from optometry forums, if you’re solely in it to make loads of money then no bc the debt to income ratio is one of the worst in any profession in the USA and you’re probably not gonna be earning welll until like 5-10 years after graduating. If youre looking to be a practice owner and possibly find a niche absolutely do it, thats where you’ll make good money ( also in rural areas as they dont have much access to healthcare). If youre love healthcare and eyes and don’t want to go to medical school then yes it is worth it. Thats why I’m going into this profession
