Nathaniel Said:

are pharmacy tech jobs boring or interesting?

We Answered:

DO NOT go to college for pharm tech! You dont need to! Go to any local CVS, Walmart, or RiteAid and apply for a pharmacy tech job. Most are willing to train you on the job and some will pay for the national board test!
I got a job when I was 19 at CVS. They started me out as a pharm associate (meant I really just worked on the cash registers). Then after training I became a pharm tech. I also worked at Brooks which is now riteaid.

Walgreens seems to only hire certified pharm techs. But other retail pharmacies are willing to train. Going to a training school is a waste of time unless no store will hire you. But apply to as many pharmacies as you can first!
You only make slightly above minimum wage and you deal with a lot of angry, mean customers. And you have to stand your whole shift (except your 30 min lunch break). So 8 hours of standing and running around.

Becky Said:

Do I have to be majoring in Pre-Pharmacy in order to apply for a pharmacy tech job?

We Answered:

No.
Some pharmacies will hire you as a pharmacy clerk and offer pharmacy technician training.

Pharmacy Tech jobs? In the state of TEXAS. Age requirement? other requirements?

We Answered:

To be a pharmacy tech you don't have to be certified if you're gonna work in a retail pharmacy like Rite Aid or Walgreens. Some have an age requirement of 18 so you need to ask your local pharmacy. I think if you're going to work in a clinic or hospital you will have to be certified and I believe you get paid more in retail pharmacies more than hospitals it's usually that way for actual pharmacists so I believe it would apply to the techs too.

Certification isn't usually required for a pharmacy tech because you do get on-the-job training at some places. The job is also considered a normal hourly job at Rite Aid.

Where can I find Pharmacy Tech jobs in Charlotte,NC?

We Answered:

Don't bother with applying online they never check if for pharmacy tech jobs. You're better off applying at individual stores or finding the number for the company's regional hiring manager..
