Meh on the Pharmacy Tech job - anon

Posted: Oct 28th, 2015 - 2:05 am In Reply to: If any of you are interested in pharmacy tech - not certified, that could be SM

It doesn't pay much ($26K a year-ish). I did some research on job opportunity, pay and benefits and all were pretty similar to what we get now as MTs.

I am going to a community college right now and have run into a couple of people who took the pharmacy tech certificate program and they are now back to get a degree in something else.

Lousy hours (weekends, holidays, nights), lousy pay and obnoxious bosses. Sound familiar?
