All difficult to get in to. Here's the defiinitive guide to the respective careers:
Medicine: Maximum career credibility, just like Casualty, fantastic arrogance and salary once you reach consultant, may marry a nurse
Dentistry: Back ache, working in disguisting cramped mouths, arsey dental assistants, sued at every heel and turn
Optometry: Low stress, some clinical credibility, reasonable pay, might get a bit tedious saying clearer with one or clearer with 2 plus you could still end up in jail for missing something
Go for medicine

Do you have an idea what the pay is? I've heard a lot of people on TSR complaining about the career in Optometry

~£40k once established. Not bad for a relatively pleasant clinical role

im interested in optometry and i had a few questions
I'm a third year optom student, I have enjoyed Optometry, but I have applied for Medicine this year! Let me put it as basic as I can if you love a hospital environment (as I have found working in an Ophthalmology clinic) then go for Medicine honestly. But Optom isn't bad and I have learnt invaluable skills! Also the first reply pretty much hit it on the head!
