I received offers for both Bach of Orthoptics (Latrobe) and Bach of Oral Health (UoM) and i'm having trouble deciding. I was hoping to get some people's opinions to see if it'd help me make my decision. Not sure if this is the right board to post in, but giving it a shot.
Some info
- For orthoptics, I'd basically begin from second year since I'm receiving credit from first year, while for oral health, I'll have to begin from first year
- Oral health is an established career and has a steady employment rate, while orthoptics is still growing here in Melbourne and its employment rate may be growing too - this directly correlates to it's average salary, where oral health is higher (for now at least)
- From the research I've done, I can see myself studying both as they offer subjects/content I'm interested in
- Oral health is around 4 days of uni and orthoptics is around 2-3
- Both offer honours program and they both also only require completion of the undergrad to "enter the work force"
