Hi that depends on where you live. I worked as a Certified Pharmacy Technician in rural Southwest Virginia and at the most made $8.00 an hour.\nPay is higher in bigger cities. :-)\nHope this helps.

Right now, there is a great demand for both, but it depends on what you like and excel at doing.  Bio tech has a history of being a more volatile career setting, but can be very rewarding.  Pharm cannot be outsourced and jobs are and will continue to be plentiful.  What do you like to do the most, research or medicine?  The hospital I work at has a program that allows students to "shadow" the pharmacist to get a better idea of what the job really in-tells.

Phlebotomists' salaries vary dramatically from area to area.  Some make barely more than minimum wage, while others make $40k or more.  The Drawing Room is currently compiling a database of wages across the country and will hopefully be available soon.

I worked there back in '01 and it started at $7.50/hr, so its probably more now, however I think it varies at different locations, and whether you are hired as a bookseller or a cashier.

I work at a blood center.  You'll only make $12 - 14 per hour, but........you can became a trainer, and then a training supervisor, and make $20/hr.

My wife is a pharmacist at a large hospital.  They are always looking for techs for the night shifts. If you are willing to work midnights, you should be able to walk in to just about any hospital with a 24hr pharmacy department and get a job. The midnight shift pays better too.

My sister is training to be a pharmacist, and here is what she did:\n\nfirst, she got a bachelor's degree (probably most pharmacists get bachelor's degrees in either biology or chemistry, but she got hers in animal science / management). She did have to take a few more anatomy and biology courses to get accepted into pharmacy school.\n\nThen she got into pharmacy school (hers is University of the Pacific, in Stockton, CA). The program there is 3 years long: i think 2 years of classes, and 1 year of internship doing hospital pharmacy, and learning more about treating patients, and dealing with hospitals, doctors, and staff. She is currently doing her rotations in the hospital. at the end, when she graduates, she will get a PharmD degree, and have to get licensed in the state she wants to work in.\n\nBeing a pharmacist does pay quite well, and so it should help to pay off any student loans. \n\nThere might be some programs at colleges that have a pharmacy school where you can earn both your bachelor's degree and your PharmD degree in a shorter period of time, like 5 years. these schools might have a pre-Pharmacy program to get you geared into being accepted easily into their Pharmacy School.\n\nPharmacies also typically hire Pharmacy Technicians, who are not pharmacists, but have some training in preparing medicines and working in pharmacies. Some vocational schools might have programs in being trained and certified as a Pharm Tech. of course, Techs don't make the same salaries as licensed Pharmacists.

Yeah, lots of people work at Walgreens or whatever as interns while going to Pharmacy school.  I think that you can starting at the end of your 2nd year.  They make pretty good money doing that.  There are alot of people that work at Walgreens as techs before that, too.  It doesn't seem like they think it's that hard to do both, but it depends on how good you are at school.

probably a rad tech. much better pay and a more stable job. you have to go to school for a year or two though to be a rad tech and its just onsite training for pharm techs (all you need is a HS diploma) in most states

Demand for pharmacists is high, and programs are competitive. Why? Pharmacy is a great career for someone who excels in chemistry and science. The pharmacists I know enjoy flexible hours, high pay, great benefits, and some satisfaction from helping people. They have worked for pharmaceutical companies from sales to management, for private pharmacies and government, and have as little or as much work as they prefer. A family member is a retired pharmacist and has opportunities to travel and relieve another pharmacist to vacation. He stays and works for a few weeks in a small towns with only one pharmacist; the locations can be in all types of climates, from plains to tropics. I'm sure these are only a few of the many career opportunities for pharmacists, like in research, drug development, and even teaching other pharmacists.\n\nThe female pharmacists I know feel it is the absolute best career for a woman--they have high pay, flexibility of hours, and good working conditions. Each has her own family, has time with her kids, works only as much as she wants, and still brings in a sizable pay check. \n\nDrawbacks are few. They do have to work some weekend and night hours, and especially when just starting their career they have had long shifts. The required education will have you in school for 5-6 years, and that means tuition expenses. However, none of the pharmacists I know regret for one second their decision, nor the expense and work to get licensure. \n\nStudy your sciences, work hard to make excellent grades, and talk to some pharmacists where you live. They may have tips that could help you reach your goal.

A good tech should be paid at least 48 dollars an hour. Looks like you're making a healthy profit. Reasonable is in the eye of the beholder. I work for myself. I make the rules. I can give myself a raise on a whim. Charge whatever you like.\n.

Depends on your location.  Of course anything in the medical/pharmaceutical field is always going to be in demand.  Check out your classifieds in the Houston newpaper.  They might give you an idea of salary.

Here is a good website that provides information on MEDICAL BILLING/CLAIMS EXAMINING/PATIENT ACCOUNTING :\n\nhttp://healthcarejobs.org/updts.htm\n\nThe article on the website covers:\nIntroduction \nOccupation List \nNature of Work \nWorking Condition \nJob Outlook & Employment \nTraining & Other Qualifications \nEarnings \nResources \n\nEARNINGS\nThese fields have a wage range between $8-$10 an hour to start and up to $30-$40 an hour for years of experience and responsibility.\n_____________-\n\nI had a friend who was interested in Medical billing and coding. The schooling was several thousand dollars US and the jobs in the area were paying only $8 per hour.  She went into another career field that paid more.\nI have heard it is one of the hot jobs, or in demand jobs.\n\nI hope you get many replys to your question.
