It all depends on where you live. I know opticians who work in or near New York City that make 70k per year but when you figure in cost of living there it all evens out. A good optician can worth his weight in gold but most OD's or MD's don't view it like that. As I've said before MD's and OD's are the worst for paying there opticians. I once had an MD I was working who would not give his front end people .50 cents more for sending people to the optical shop. He said they are already given a salary they should be happy to send people for free. At the time they were making minimum wage.
