How much does the average Optical Engineering Technician make per year (salary)?

I am new to the industry and trying to compare what I make to what other Optical Engineering Technicians make. I work in an optics lab assembling and testing lenses, among other things. This is not the eye glasses technician! #engineering #optical #financial-planning

Is it really and truly possible to succeed in a solid career and also pursue other dreams in a completely different field such as art?

I really like art, but I don't know if I want to major in it, but I sure don't want to give it up either. I would like a steady and decent paying job but also to keep up with my art skills. #counselor #carter #personal-development #art

I was wondering what kind of program or field of study within biology might deal with researching and experimenting with STEM cells and what progress is being made?

We have just been learning about STEM cells in my honors bio class, and just the thought that these cells can become anything is incredible to me, and it reminds me that i also can become anything, maybe even a biologist. #biologist

I also got into U of A is that better than SJSU #computer-software #software-engineering

Do colleges really care if you didn't take AP classes in your 9 & 10 grade?

I didn't start taking AP classes until Junior year, and I didn't take honors/IB classes either. The only advanced classes I have taken are advanced Enligh 1/2 & 3/4, along with being a year ahead in math of the regular sequence. #college #college-applications #highschool
