Question

Can I become an optic surgeon if I watch enough of those eye surgery shows?

Answer 1

Yes.  I became an undercover detective by watching law and order SVU.  I show up each day and sit at my desk at the local precinct.  If I bring coffee, they let me stay.

Answer 2

Yes, that's how all of the professionals got their start.

Answer 3

You could, but you might go to jail for practicing without a license!

Answer 4

NO!

Answer 5

No. It takes 12-13 years after high school.

Answer 6

Why not? All you are lacking is the practical experience at this point. I would start the way they did in the olden days. Just get some animals, (they are easier to get now that we have places like Pet Smart) and begin practicing. You should be proficient enough to begin working on people in about 6-12 months. Then, print yourself up some certificates and hang them in your garage. Put in a massage table( this subs as your surgery table) and put a box of gloves out, some towels, some rubbing alcohol, some soap. Make it look all professional. Sit back and start raking in the cash. People are dying to have their eyes worked on by someone who really know what they are doing. And that someone is you.

Answer 7

uuummmmm.........NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

Answer 8

You can also be president just by watching lots of C-Span (and by having a history filled with cocaine and alcohol abuse.)
