Im Bill,..I currently reside in Texas which has no requirements for licensure. I have been in the business for 13 years. the most I have ever made in Texas is 15.00 an hour. Recognizing that obviously in licensed states that people are making way more money than I am in Texas. Makes me wonder what the difference in duties for the Optician are in licensed states? Here in Texas I have done everthing from retail management ,..to surface work in a wholesale lab and everything in between.Second ,..realizing that in licensed states there is more money to be made. I have been trying to find a state that might take my experience into consideration. so I dont have to go to school for 2 years. seems crazy to have to do that when you have 13 years experience.
Oh and thanks for listening to my frustration.
