Cost of becoming an optometrist or pharmacist
Is it true that in order to become an optometrist or a pharmacist, one needs to first study for 12 years in school, get excellent (75%+) marks in Science and Math, get accepted into a 4 year degree course in college and only then one can get get admitted to a well known vocational course like optometrist or pharmacist?
Secondly how much does such a path cost? I guess even if one stays with parents, a 4 year course will easily cost about $40-50 K. Then the vocational course will be another $60+K.
This seems excessive.
Are these number correct?
