                                                  Optician

Duties and Responsibilities:

Opticians fit and dispense eyeglasses for patients based on the prescriptions they are given by ophthalmologists or optometrists. Opticians help the customers select eyeglasses. They measure the distance between the corneas of the eyes so that the lenses may be correctly fitted in the frames. Some opticians specialize in the fitting of contact lens.  Opticians may own their retail store or work for an optical store. Some also work for optometrists and ophthalmologists who sell glasses.

Average Salary: $19,000 - $40,000

Educational Requirements:

Students should take the most challenging high school courses in physics, algebra, mechanical drawing, and geometry. A high school diploma or GED certificate is needed to begin training as an optician. There are two types of training programs. Students can complete an approved two-year course at an school of opticianry, or they can complete an approved three year on-the-job apprenticeship.

Reflection: I wouldn't like to be a optician because it doesn't interest me and it also has a low pay for my liking.
