A quick look at the salary of a pharmacy technician

[LeLoveLee]

@iraqibodybuilder do pharmacy technicians attend 8 years of difficult and expensive school? No. They don't have to go to college at all. Pharmacists have huge loans to pay off.

I can't (and certainly won't) argue with that. I'm in WA state, so our pay is a little higher than than 8-10 dollars/hr. Then again, our Pharmacists make $200k a year. The only thing I can argue with is the "brother" as I am a woman. hahaha I wish you much luck in whatever you choose (or have chosen) to do instead. We are definitely on the same wavelength. We deserve more for the BS we have to put up with.

its not fair that technicans only make 8-10 dollars an hour while pharmcist make about 40-50 dollars per hour. technicans do all the hard work.

@iraqibodybuilder I agree with you on the CPhT pay. We should make far more than we do. But, also keep in mind that any mistakes fall squarely on the shoulders of the Pharmacist, regardless of who may have made them.

@mskard2 i agree with u brother but its still the labor and the effort we do is 100 times harder than pharmcist. they only check and consult, i worked with many ones and i swear most of them are dumb as hell and lazy as well. 8-10 dollars r not living, i quit my job cuz i wasn't going anywhere with it. while the pharmcist make about 150 grand a year. its messed up. we do the billing, counting, dispercing, the calculation, filling n packiging and the hassle with the patients ... its not fair.
