Most "opticians" in licensing states learn from another "optician" who knows little through an apprenticeship program.
Most "opticians" are high school graduates. There are a few with business degrees, but they are rare. There are a few more with business sense, and most of them can
be found here. Talk to Johns, Braheem, Barry, etc.
Most RMs, DMs, and the like have business education and upper management backgrounds. Few "opticians" have this. "Opticians" may think they can run businesses, but I doubt most of them could survive long in upper level corporate opticals. They just don't know the lingo. Independents, sure.
That's why.
Want it to change? Go to school, get a real education and come back to the
business as upper management and help fix the problem.
