Some opticians specialize in the fitting of contact lens and also in fitting artificial eyes.  Opticians can work in their own store or optician store.  Some also work for optometrists and ophthalmologists who sell glasses.

Educational Requirements:

Students should take high school courses in physics, algebra, mechanical drawing, and geometry. To begin training a GED or high school diploma is required. There are two types of training programs.  Students can either complete an approved two-year course at an school of opticianry, or they can complete an approved three year on-the-job apprenticeship.

I think I would want to be an optician because their job seems simple.
