I am currently an ABO/ NCLE certified Optician. I work for a private doctors office making 12.00 hr. No commission, No Bonus. I have been in the optical field since 2002 in various non-licensed states due to military family re-location. I have worked it all. SGH, LC, Visionworks and private offices doing teching, front desk, dispensing, ordering and all that jazz. My current position requires me to do all three. Tech, Front desk and billing and sell and adjust/ dispense glasses. My question to all you fine people is am I fairly paid for my responsibilities? I feel as if I am sorely underpaid given my experience. I am also taking classes through my local community college to get my AS in Opticianry to be able to become state licensed. Any thoughts or suggestions on a "fair" salary would be helpful.
