Why do some of you folks feel these discussions are "fruitless and frustrating?" I understand that OptiBoard is a small sampling of Opticians but the results are showing that more members are pro formal education now then they were a couple of years ago. I think these types of discussions had a ton to do with that. The only way to bring a message home is by being persistant in delivering it.

Judy,

I agree with you. We do have to do more than just talk but educating and informing others about education is one way to get things rolling. These discussions create interest and even if one person looks into their local college programs or a distance learning degree then these posts have accomplished their goals.
