Pharmacists and Optometrists please help

I'm wondering whether I should pursue pharmacy? I'm interested in it obviously, but I still want to have a good life where I'm not regretting my choices everyday.

I've seen some posts from pharmacists talking about how bad community pharmacy is but when they describe it, it seems not bad at all to me personally, but I also sometimes don't understand fully what they mean.

Can any pharmacists (or students) please give me your opinion?

Also, I've been thinking of maybe optometry so can any optometrists (or students) help and give your opinion as well? Thank you:smile:
