I need a little advice. I'm currently employed as an optometric tech. I'm happy with my career thus far, but I'm planning on seeking certification. I'm not sure whether I should obtain my certification as a tech, or whether I'd rather pursue opticianary. I'm looking into it. I am attending a meeting next week about certification programs in my area, but unfortunately there is not a career counselor who is seasoned in the eye care field for me to discuss this with. (Sounds kind of funny that they offer the certification programs but they don't have a counselor in the field, I know.) Any way, I was hoping that some of you might give me some advice to enlighten me and make my decision a little more informed. If any of you had once been in the same position I am now it would be helpful to get feedback from you. Or for those of you who just went straight into opticianary, it would be great to hear why you chose opticianary and why you would encourage a person to pursue a career as an optician.
Thanks!
