I FINALLY got a job as a pharmacy technician!!
I went to the Davis Applied Technology College (DATC) my senior year of high school to take a pharmacy tech. class so that right after high school I would have a good job with good hours making between $15-20 dollars an hour. Well the research and what high school counselors had told me wasn't true. Pharmacy techs are not in demand, they do NOT make that much money, they work long hours, and the DATC has a terrible class where you hardly learn anything and pharmacies in Utah know it. I've been trying to get a job for a year and haven't had any luck - until today!
I got a call from a pharmacy, The Medicine Shoppe, yesterday wanting to interview me. (I had turned in an application a few weeks ago, but they weren't even hiring at the time). I had my interview today, I really liked the manager, and she hired me on the spot!
I start the beginning of May, after school is over. Part time for training making $11.50 and after a few weeks - full time with a raise :) Right now I'm both nervous and excited... so we'll see!!
That's exciting. And $11.50 an hour sounds like a great wage to me.
