An Optical Dispenser in the long run would make you more money in your own business especially if you are good. A paralegal is hard work and a lot of headaches and long hours but not a bad career move either.

I'm not familiar with an optical dispenser. Check www.about.com, and see what they have to say. Don't rush your decision, make sure you understand what the job is that you're going to train for, and that you'd enjoy doing it day in and day out... a paralegal is great for someone who really enjoys research, doesn't necessarily like to have a lot of contact with outside people, work with lawyers, and work all hours of the day and night (right before a big case, you may find yourself in the office with 18-hour days), but the pay is great, if you like the rest of it. Just realize that it's not all about the money, especially if you hate what you do, so choose well...

Which one do you find more satisfying? It doesn't matter if you're making more money (at least, not unless it's a very significant amount more, and even then, not always) if you're not satisfied with your career. It's not like your job should be all fun and games--it is called work for a reason, but if the only reason you're doing your job is for your paycheck, you shouldn't be doing it if there's a better option available.
And in terms of the optical dispenser starting their own buisness, why not talk to some owners of optical dispenser buisnesses in your area? Find out how they got started, and ask them if you could move to starting your own buisness as well.

If you are interested in law as a field, getting a job as a paralegal would be a nice way to test the career first. In addition, if you are young and a star employee, they may help you through school, with tuition assistance, or at least access to a law library.
If you are just out of high school, however, paralegal is still out of reach, but law isn't. You just need to search for a more entry level job (you can even learn a lot in the file room!)
With optics you can have your own business? Sounds fishy to me, but that's only one sentence.

Stay in your field. Unless optical is really a great venture and easy on you if you decide to change fields of study. I'm majoring in Psychology and work as a drug counselor. Might as well get as much knowledge and experience as possible while still in school, right?

WELL DO WHAT YOU THINK YOU WILL ENJOY THE MOST. MONEY IS NOT EVERYTHING, THINK IF YOU WILL ENJOY THAT JOB EVERYDAY.
