    But if you're the main breadwinner and have 6 kids, it's going to be a very tight budget.
    LOL!! Ophthalmologist husband! I'm not insane. I had a 'never date a doctor' policy. Male docs tend to be horribly arrogant. Bad enough dealing with them, I'd never live with one!! :p

    Don't dentists have the highest suicide rate?

    couldnt imagine why..the breath they have to take in sometimes...he was probably just trying to kill the smell...death was just a side effect.

    No only do you have to pass the 6-month opticianry course in BC, but you must then also pass two (2) very rigorous NACOR National competency exams to become registered as a licensed optician in Ontario.

    Agreed, I have family that works for Costco for many, many years. Talk to the Warehouse manager or assistant manager. Income is pretty damn good, over time, and so are the benefits.
    Feel free to ask if ya'll have any more questions, though keep in mind I've never worked optical for them, just front end and membership.
