Pharmacy Technician--worth it???
I am in CA and thinking about taking a $1800 class at CSU East Bay to get a certificate and prepare for the exam. In CA a license is also required.
My question is: is the pay worth the hassle? I see most PT's start out at $13/hr. at the most. I would be most interested in working at a hospital. Anyone with experience have any thoughts? I am doing a Ph.D. program online, so this would be just a job until I complete my degree.
Thanks for any feedback.

If you think it's something you would enjoy doing, go for it. It may be a good job to fall back on if you become unemployed for a time - medical professionals will ALWAYS be in demand.

I think it's worth it, pharmacy technicians are one of the top 10 part time jobs that are sought for, and there's a reason for that. Once you finish your program, you will be able to get a job easy becaue there is a huge shortage, 1800 is nothing compared to what you will be getting back out of your work. Well good luck peace.
