goleafsgochris Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Picking optometry over dentistry when you have the choice is something that you will likely regret regularly throughout your entire life. I truly hope this is not a totally serious question. Some people constantly tell us when we're young to "do what interests you." This is true to an extent, but is often waaaaaay overblown in terms of importance. Like if your happiest time at a job was being a camp counsellor at age 14, would you avoid med school to be a professional camp counsellor lol? The careers you describe above are not comparable, come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I maybe quite naive but why are these two careers not comparable? I honestly would 've picked optometry over dentistry. I don't want to lean forward all day and I don't want to look at teeth all day. Comparing these two careers is like comparing apples to oranges!! I think the OP should do what they like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the OP should do what they like although very different fields, most people would choose dentistry over optometry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FailureToThrive Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Dentistry if you like surgery. Optometry if you like diagnosing/prescribing I guess... It's easier on the back. I would say both lead to a great lifestyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
