not to belittle walmart ods( i worked there also) but it was sad to see so many of my classmates working there for 10 years. when i was in school most people wanted to have there own office or practice with or for an od or md. sorry to say that is not the case. i was one the few people who had opened there own office. a few of my classmates did residences and where working at costco.(i had worked there also), not a place where you want to work as a professional but i guess if you have to feed your family you have to do what you have to do. i just wish there were more opportunities for young and old ods. good luck to all

I work at Pearle Vision which I would hope is held in higher regard then a Walmart but know from speaking and working with the OD running any sort of pratice isn't easy. I figure these people probaby found it as an easy out to starting there own and know its good enough money to get by.
