Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate career awareness of the students majoring in optometry in Gyeongnam area so that it could be used as a database to educate them on their career.
Methods: The graduates of the Department of Optometry in 6 universities of Gyeongnam area were surveyed through a questionnaire.
Results: Most of their motive for entering Department of Optometry was for ’finding a job(38%), while at the time of entrance, most of them (55%) thought ’optician’ as their job after graduation. Now most of them are the expectant graduate and they still think ’optician’ as their job(54%). The biggest reason why they think of this career was ’aptitude(34%),’ and most of them wanted their first monthly wage as less than ’1.5 million won (46%).’ For the desired work time, most of them said ’less than 10 hours a day (73%),’ and they have been figured out to want ’2 days off a week and monthly paid holiday (35%).’ For the questions asking any improvements that are needed for department of Optometry, they (32%) answered ’equipments that are old or in short.’ For the question asking if they are willing to choose optical task even if they entered a company that is irrelevant with it, most of them (37%) said they will if the conditions work, and the other 37% said they didn’t know.
Conclusions: The cooperation among universities and the field and their interest are required so that the students of the Department of Optometry would be able to work with pride as a professional to improve social welfare.
