Go to a hospital! They have great hours and great pay!
Hospital pharmacy technicians make A LOT more then retail pharmacy technicians (like Safeway, Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, etc).
When I was 17 I worked at Safeway because you weren't allowed to become certified until you were 18. They only paid me $8.50 and hour. It sucked!
As soon as I turned 18 I took the test and became certified. I quit Safeway and went to a hospital. I'm getting paid $16.70 an hour now. I also work overnight (11PM-8AM) so I get a 13% differential on top of my $16.70 and hour.

Certified pharm techs almost always start at about $10 per hour. In general, hospitals tend to pay their pharm techs a little higher than retail.
You should look at Walgreens or other local pharmacies. Just call up and ask if there are openings.
