Optometry is a stable skill..
Its just like being a dentist or a lawyer, just that the two
latters offer higher stable pay than an optician.. However its
still good.. With most of the Singaporeans getting spectacles and
lenses due to the high activity of computer usage so on so
forth.
Apparel design and merchandising is fine. However, i can tell
you safely for a fact that, for every optical related shop there is
in Sg, there is probably around safely 50++ fashion merchandise
shops. Hence, its kinda like an uber competitive industry
you are planning to enter.
If you like art, there are really much other alternatives.
Perhaps you could try teaching art as a profession. If you're
unsure, you could always try it out first by doing relief teaching.
Check the MOE webby for details.
I would recommend optometry. It is after all, a skill which you
WILL definitely have to study and practise to obtain. Looking at
the bright side, you are helping people to see clearly. So both
morally and practically its the better option.
Whichever path you choose, i wish you all the best. Good
luck!
not optician.... it's optometrist
