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.

most states you dont have to be trained to be a pharmacy tech, just do onsite training. but you usually get paid more if you are certified. id check out a local community college, thatd be a good place to start looking

It depends on where the actual Home Depot is.  I know that the pay rate is higher in the Bay Area than in the Sacramento area.  I believe it ranges between $12-$18 per hour, depending on experience, etc.

Wow, monster.com is optimistic about our salaries.  Lab technicians make barely $35-45k entry level, and up to $55-70k when in senior positions.  But it depends on the company, hospital, lab you're working for.  You'll do better at a pharmaceutical lab or medical lab, but it's not worth the stress.  University labs are soooooo much more relaxed, but pay less.

"PC Technicians average $40,000 per year salaries, but you can boost that to over $60,000 per year just by getting CompTIA A Plus certified."\n\nThis is not exactly true.  If you are in DC or Cali you might make 40k, if you HAVE an A+.  If you are computer saavy then you can get an A+ or skip it if you already know how to take computers apart.  If you go to a school and get an MCSE in 2 weeks you will make slightly more than someone with an A+ but nobody will trust your skills until you prove them in the field.  We call them "paper MCSEs." \n\nTo become a Microsoft Certified Professional you need to pass one test.  If you want to be a developer (create apps) you would go for the MCSD, if you want to fix network problems or administrate a network you will need to go for an MCSE.   There are required and optional tests and you have to pass at least 7.  You should concentrate on the Exchange and Security electives.  There are a lot of resources online that you should look to instead of yahoo answers.  If you want to make money you should try to get a CCNA (cisco) but it is decently difficult so make sure you are ready before you attempt it.  BTW most tests are ~$100 per.  A decent weeklong school is going to be over $2000.\n\nFirst check:\nwww.thomson.com This company administers the tests for all.\n\nFor Microsoft info:\nannoyances.org\npetri.co.il\nmsexchange.org\n\nFor CCNA the best resource is cisco.com

There's currently a pharmacist shortage in the US. Starting salaries around 90,000 dollars per year. Dentists are always in need too. You can open your own pharmacy in the US but most pharmacist work for someone else, as the industry is dominated by chain pharmacies. Pharmacists also work in hospitals, clinics, etc.

There may be some very high end hotels in very busy urban areas that have this facility, but more likely the nearby pharmacies, or the hotel concierge will arrange for prescription and needed supplies to be delivered to the hotel guest.\n\nIf you give more info about exactly why you seek this, perhaps a more helpful answer could be offered.\n\nAre you a pharmacy tech looking for a job that includes hotel use as a part of your benefit package?

It really depends on what area you live in - and whether it's rural or urban. And whether you work directly for the employer, are self-employed, or contracted. \n\nI've never heard of a "virtual" admin support, so I couldn't really say on that. But I've seen bookkeepers make between $8-13/hr direct hire, and $20-25/hr self-employed. Computer tech technicians tend to get good money, unless you're in a remote area - usually in the $15-20/hr+ range direct hire. Computer tech & computer clean-up & organization would be great contractual or self-employment work if you have a solid foundation in computers. \n\nIf you work direct hire, you will be making less then if you were self-employed. But as a self-employed person, you are responsible for your own Federal & State taxes, unemployment tax, workman's comp, and other bennies. So the $20/hr listed above, actually is much less take home.

Don't, it's a waste of good money.  Most pharmacies will teach you what you need to know.  Work for a retail pharmacy for a while, and then take, if you desire, the certification exam.  Regardless, if you have a diploma or not, an uncertified, no experience tech, is going to initially make $8-$9 an hour.

I have heard $30, but there is a large range within that number.  The article below mentions $30 also but only as an assumed CPM.

pharmacists usually have a salary of about 70-110k a year. for a pharmacy overall, the margin is usually about 20% (its higher on generics and much lower on expensive brandname drugs) which basically means for every $100 spent at a pharmacy, $80 goes to paying for the cost of drugs and $20 goes to paying salaries, paying rent/lease/mortgage for the building, keeping the lights, internet, etc. if you think that sounds high, walmart has a markup of close to 30% to put things in perspective.\n\n\naverage markup per prescription (cost over what the pharmacy paid for the drug which is used to pay salaries and overhead costs) is probably $5-8, i dont have an exact numbe that's a guess. pharmacies dont actually have 10000% margins on everything like the news makes it sound. there have been a lot of stories about how some generics might cost 50 cents for a bottle of pills and the pharmacy charges $10 and make it sound like people are being way overcharged. and that annoys the crap out of me. because people look at it as merely a product and not a service and forget that you have to pay over head costs like rent for the building, utilities, supplies, staff salaries so there is someone to fill it/bill insurance/answer questions, etc. lots of pharmacies are going out of business anymore because reimbursement from insurance is so bad, and uninsured people often get charged out the butt because they have to make up for lost money.
