Just last week I had my heart set on becoming a genetic counselor. I have gotten through the past three years of college by dreaming of the day I would get accepted into my master's program and be on the road to have a career in genetic counseling. I am volunteering at all the right places to get accepted into a GC program and I'm even working on my thesis which is based on genetics.
But in one second all of this changed.
I don't know why this happened. I don't know why my brain took the one comment my mom made about going into optometry and couldn't let go of it. Since she made that comment, it's all I can think about. I've been researching Optometry schools and all the requirements to get accepted. I really think this might be what I want to do. Sure, it's a couple more years of school, but lot more people need optometrists than genetic counselors.
All I know to do is pray about it and hope that God shows me the right path to take. I know He will. I just ahve to have faith.

You'll be great in anything that you choose to do. I'm sure a few more years of school wouldn't hurt. Especially if you look at how far it can get you in life. Like you said, more people need optometrists than genetic counselors. I know that whatever you choose to do, and wherever God leads you, you will excel in it. Good luck!
I hope you go for it. I made the mistake of not following through with it because of the time, money, and having to move away. Last week I started thinking that I should have stuck to it and started looking at how to start and I just don't think I can do it anymore. Good luck and I hope you make it through.
