Re: Wife has good luck with jobs.
Is this what they do?
Dispensing Opticianry - Douglas College
I can't find any training courses in BC using Ophthalmic Technician or assistant as key words.
Schools in Alberta as well as the one you mention in Toronto come up, but everything in BC that comes up is for dispensing optician....
Maybe BC does it differently?
This is what came up for Alberta

Re: Wife has good luck with jobs.
I thought we were talking about ophthalmic technician/Assistant. 
3 years undergraduate degree + another 4-5 years in an accredited program + a potential 1 year residency upon completing degree to be an optometrist, way way beyond my ability.

Re: Wife has good luck with jobs.
My wife was offered a job today. It's not long term, 1-2 years in length. Same industry she works in now, but computers are replacing humans, so they expect the job to be obsolete in 1-2 years, but still not too shabby pay wise, and benefits and even 133 per month to an RRSP of our choice after 3 months.
She had an email with a job offer before she even got home from the final interview this morning.
She is a people person, and very outgoing so she interviews way better then I do and isn't a nervous anxious wreck that I am.
I had an interview about a week ago at a company who is in the deceased pet industry, but haven't heard anything back.

Re: Wife has good luck with jobs.
Get your GP to load you up with Propranolol or at the very least Xanax, that should sort you out. You want to take the former before you start getting stressed otherwise I'm not sure it works that well.

I wonder if xanax works better then Ativan? That is what the psych doc prescribes but it doesn't do anything, well nothing I can tell anyhow.

Re: Wife has good luck with jobs.
Not sure. But they occasionally gave us Propranolol at work when I was in the US to help us perform more calmly in certain stressful situations, I think prfessional golfers take it. Just sort of keeps you calm and you can focus a bit more. Not suggesting anything longterm just thought it might help you with job interviews.

Re: Wife has good luck with jobs.
My *personal* experience of Ativan is that even in tiny doses it dulled my senses & brain so*enormously* that family & close friends freaked out to the point of staging an "intervention"; with my Doc.

Re: Wife has good luck with jobs.
My wife takes one and same thing and she becomes sleepy. Her dose is 1mg as needed. I am rx 2mg as needed but feel the same and function normally from what I can tell. I rarely even take any as I dont feel any different and why take something if you feel the same?
Ditto with anti depressants. If it were not so hard to come off them, I would go off. But when on them long term, some like Effexor are horrible meds to come off of. Nasty withdrawl but the pharma companies have a fancy name for it.
