    Do you find optometry interesting enough to invest a few years in it to get a degree? If yes, then you can go ahead with it. But what if you decide to look for jobs in business rather than switching careers? It could take a while, but you will definitely get in somewhere! Is the college you got your business degree from accredited by a recognized body? You must have a degree from an accredited college in order to get hired. If you want to study optometry, choose a college wisely. To know if a college is good, always go through reviews and testimonials from current and past students. You know I had googled CollegeAmerica complaints while looking for programs that are worth investing in. A Better Business Bureau site (which is a non-biased, third-party review) shows that they have an A rating and they’ve been able to resolve any complaints that students have had, which I guess is a good sign. Or you have another option - you could also do some certificate course in your area of specialization to spruce up your resume. And apply to as many places as you can. It increases your chances of getting called for interviews.

    Why not try getting an internship? Some of them are paid, and then you can get your foot in the door.
