Ive a pharmacy tech for over a year now. There is no advancement. I make $10.58 an hour working hospital pharmacy. Benefits are ok, wouldnt suggest it as a career.
I work in a hospital in southern California and I've been a technician for 20 years. I currently make about $22/hr and made a little over $47,000 gross for the 2010 year. I am licensed for the state of California but am currently not nationally certified as I had to be when I worked in Colorado.
Currently in New York City, a starting salary for a certified pharmacy technician is $38K working at a correctional facility. The retail pharmacies pay you $10.50 an hour.
What planet does this guy live on???...I've been a certified tech for 10 years, and make $10/hour with Walgreens in Oklahoma.
