Education and Techs.
Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPHT) - (City withheld for privacy), South Carolina, United States
I have graduated from an ASHP accredited Pharmacy Technology program. I work in the hospital setting and am SC State Certified. If I had not gone to school I would not be SC Certified. These certifications (SC and PTCB) have improved my salary a lot. Just by moving from GA where my education wasn't valued to SC where is qualifies me for SC Cert I saw an 18% raise in my salary. Please do your research though because techs are underpaid but I love my job in the hospital. Retail jobs do not pay wel...

A degree does not pay!
Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPHT) - (City withheld for privacy), Ohio, United States
I have an Associates degree in pharmacy technology, it is worthless! It has no bearing on how much I make or open any doors to better pharmacy jobs at all. You can get hired into a pharmacy with no experience and be trained on the job and have your certification paid for by the company instead of paying for it yourself. Don't get scammed into the chain "colleges" that claim you need a degree or will need a degree, they are wrong!

Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPHT) - (City withheld for privacy), Arkansas, United States
I don't know if this will get posted or not but don't pay thousands of dollars to become a pharmacy technician!!!! It is so on the job. I wanted to go to school and the pharmacist told me he'd teach me all I needed to know. He did and I'm now certified (I got study guides and studied on my own), working for the federal gov't. I started in retail. It's cool, but not much money in it. More money in radiation therapy or being a sonographer. God bless.
