Most optometrists are self-employed, however many work for hospitals, government agencies, optical manufacturers, or universities.

Salary: average salary: $78,000

Education: Students interested in becoming an optometrist should take the most challenging high school courses (AP or IB) available in math, science, and English.  Before entering an optometry school at least two years of college in a pre-professional program is required.  Optometry school is four years in length.  After being awarded the degree of Doctor of Optometry, optometrists must pass state exams before starting to practice.

“" Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body; it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity, when the body is healthy and strong."
