Advice
Advice: Job: Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPHT)Education Costs 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.
CPHT My only advice is to look into another career! The pay is low, low, low. The hours are not 9-5. A cashier at COSTCO starts out making at least $15.00 an hour. It will take you at least 3 years to get up to that wage. Not worth it!
Certified Pharmacy Tech When excepting a pay rate research on the internet what the pay rate is in the city you will be working so you don't except to low a pay rate. Don't let a pharmacist treat you with disrespect you are a very important part of the pharmacy team.
