I'm going to be a high school senior and was wondering if you need to be at least 18 to be a Pharmacy Technician. I've heard of seniors being a technician and just wanted it clerified for me.

I am not sure if there is an age limit on that. I would imagine it would vary from state to state. Some of me and my classmates were pharmacy interns before we were 21 and could have all the responsibilities of a pharmacist under their supervision. I know nurses that were able to give narcotics to patients before they were able to drink because they became LPNs in high school. I would call the program and your board of pharmacy and find out. I have not seen age limits in any of my law exams for pharmacy staff. I would think there is not any. I would imagine it is all about certification and exams. Look into it if that is what you want to do. If you are thinking of taking this step this early I would seriously think of going to pharmacy school if you like it. If you do not think of going into another medical or other profession. Being a technician is a very important and essential job but does not pay well in the long run. I will pay well when you are very young however and be a great experience. Remember if you do this you are a very important part of the health care team and the pharmacist will rely on your care and accuracy. The patient rely on your careful work as well.

of course, an buddies degree may be greater useful, whether it relies upon. a guy or woman with a certificates degree and years of journey will probable have a greater useful possibility against somebody who in simple terms have been given their buddies, and has no journey. It relies upon on what the corporation is seeking, and you will probable make greater with a level, except you get your certificates, and then get countless journey. Then it is going to possibly no longer count. in simple terms get an associate! it is a no-brainer that the better degree looks greater useful for jobs.
