How to become an Optician? Do you need to go thru a program? Or just take the test? Any advice & pros and cons?

I believe that one needs to have gone to an accredited program such as the associate degree that may be offered at the local community college. Here is a website for general career info: http://www.bls.gov/oco and can search 'opticians, dispensing', 'medical, dental and opthalmic laboratory technicians' or such.





The program is supposed to be quite intense, just fyi.
