Asked by Wiki User

It depends on your mode of practice, location, population demographics, cost of goods, services offered, etc....
You could make anywhere from $50,000 a year at a corporate firm if you have limited experience, all the way up to owning your own multimillion dollar high volume practice. There is a large amount of variability in optometry because different people want different things from their careers.

Why is Scotland yard called Scotland yard?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Scotland Yard is a place in London, England. The name dates from a time (before 1707) when Scotland and England were still separate countries each with their own king, court and government. As a result the Scottish kings kept their own embassy in London, just as they did in any other foreign country, with their own ambassadors and representatives. The English king granted them an area for their embassy. This area which they inhabited in London was known as "Scotland Yard".

In Victorian times the building which was erected on the same spot was known as Scotland Yard and it was occupied by the police force. Soon the name "Scotland Yard" became synonymous with the Metropolitan Police force.

Nowadays a new office has been erected on the same place, again occupied by the police, but known as "New Scotland Yard"......Not true.

What is englands version of the American FBI?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The equivalent organization in the United Kingdom to the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) is known as MI5.

This is in fact a misnomer: the original office for the section was in Room 15, on the mezzanine floor of a government building ... hence M15. This was widely mis-read, and "MI5" has passed into the language. In fact, the 'head office' is no longer in that room.

Like the FBI, its mandate is investigation within the country. The equivalent of the United States' CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) is known as MI6.

The CIA equivalent in the UK is known as the SIS (Secret Intelligence Service or MI6) The MI5 is still the main Secret Service (SS) The FBI and CIA have field agents in the their UK headquarters that operate in The European sector. MI5 and SIS have the equivalent overseas. A large number of FBI/MI5 field agents move from country to country protecting the interest of their homeland securities.

Additionally within the UK the serious organised crime agency SOCA which has been dubbed the British FBI operate but due to the nature of the UK police force and its structure no direct comparison can be directly drawn between UK and US forces
