Optometrist

Duties and Responsibilities: Optometrists treat vision problems, they diagnose eye vision to prescribe eyeglasses, contact lenses, or vision therapy. Some optometrists specialize in industrial vision safety, treatment of vision related learning disabilities, and environmental vision care. Most of the time they own their own private practice. Very few are hired by hospitals, government agencies, optical manufacturers, or  universities.

Average Salary:  $78,000

Education: In high school students should take the most challenging courses in Math, Science, and English. Before entering an optometry program you must have at least two years of college. The program is a four year program. After receiving their degree in optometry the must take a state exam to start their practice.

I would not like to become an optometrist because as I’ve said before it is not a job of my interest and not the salary pay I am looking for.
