Just wondering what the job market is like for Opticians in Texas, specifically Plano and surrounding areas. My wife's company is relocating her to Plano. I have 20 plus years as and optician, the last 8 as an office/optical manager. I have experience running an in practice finish lab as well, I did that for about 6 years before coming to my current position. Not really looking to deal with a chain optical, would prefer private practice. This is more of a research post since the earliest we would be moving will probably be middle to end of June 2022. I'm coming from Iowa which is NOT a licensing state, I have had my ABO certification but let it expire due to a lack of support from my employer regarding certification. I plan on retesting and getting it back before I start my job search in earnest. Thanks in advance for feedback.
