Is "education" really the answer employers are looking for?

An education

I guess it all depends on what your definition of "big, long, and expensive" is. When I told some optical friends I was going to go to school to become an optician, many laughed and told me to apprentice. It was an option. Instead, I took 2 years and spent a whopping $1800 for a big fancy ivy league optical degree.

That is a pretty good price, where did you attend? The places I've checked are quite a bit more than that. In fact, your price sounds almost too good to be true! Edit: Never mind, I found the school. Will look at it closer. Do they have an online version?

America has reversed into a pre-historic phase of the optical dispensing profession. This thread has itself re-hashed to the stage that it should be handed over to an "educated" funeral director for a proper disposal, because it has nowhere to go anymore.
