I am considering enrolling in a pharmacy tech program at my local community college. It consists of six classes and then I can take a test to become certified. It takes about 40 weeks. My other option was medical billing and coding, but through my research online, it seems that there are more pharmacy tech jobs available out there than billing and coding. In Texas, I technically don't have to go through formal training. Most jobs just require a high school diploma it seems, but I would feel more comfortable having the training before I land a job.
I know a pharmacy tech job will not make me rich, but it would pay more than I am making now. I just need to make enough to get my own place and support myself and my two cats.
Has anyone here been a pharmacy tech? Did you love it or hate it? What are some pros and cons? Was it easy to find a job? Is it stressful? What are some of the best and worst places to work? Is there room for advancement and higher pay down the line? What was your starting salary? Thanks in advance for your help!
