Answers:
In australia, it is a 5 year course, and you finish with a therapeutic qualification, (meaning you can write prescription for some medications)

It is relatively easy to find i job (i hope), as in rural australia they are in high demand!. Starting salary can vary from $50,000 to $100,000 depending on who you work for and where you work!.

I guess the main advantage of being an optometrist, is that you have the second most knowledge of any profession about eyes!. (Ophthalmologists being the first) And you can use your knowledge to help people, in an area that most people fear, ie!. losing your vision!.

Before starting an optometry degree anywhere in the world, i would recommend that you enjoy meeting, talking to and helping people!. Enjoy the study of health sciences, and some physics, and you feel like you could find eyes very interesting!!! (because you will see a lot of them)

Like most health professions, optometry education, certification, and practice is regulated in most countries!.
