My time is limited away from home so an online course would be best suited for me. I was thinking of doing something with Pharmacy technician or Vet Tech. Is it worthy of spending the money on these online programs? Will it help you secure a job or do most places train on the job? Kaplan U has contacted me on Pharmacy Tech. Any opinions out there? What are some of the best online schools? Thanks!

I don't give any value to online programs. All that pharmacists care about is if you are certified. That is the big deal. Pharm Tech does not pay well, you'll be lucky to make $13 per hour with several years of experience.

I HONESTLY DONT THINK SO, A WHILE BACK I TOOK ONE AS A VET. ASSISTAN WHICH IS THE SAME AS VET TECH I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING A JOB, WHEN I FINALLY FINISHED THE COURSE AND GOT MY DIPLOMA. WHENEVER I GOT THE ACTUAL DIPLOMA IT ONLY SAID ANIMAL SCIENCE..I REALLY AM NOT SURE IF THAT IS WHAT ITS SUPPOSE TO SAY. PLUS I DID NOT HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE GIVING SHOTS, HANDLING CERTAIN ANIMALS ETC. ETC. I DONT KNOW IF I WAS TO DO ANOTHER COURSE OVER THE INTERNET IT WOULD HAVE TO BE SOMETHING WHICH IS ALL PAPER WORK RELATED.

My friend took a course through penn foster and after she finished it she found out that employeers dont look at it as a degree or certificate because its not valid in all states. Before you sign up call a phramacy where you live and ask if they look at it as a valid learning experience and make sure its accredited too.
