My Pharmacy Tech Classes are going quite well so far. I’ve gotten “As” on all of the tests and homework assignments. I’ve completed the research paper, which isn’t due for another month. I’ve even been interviewing for work in the local Wal-Mart store for a job as a Pharmacy Technician, and they say that they are very interested in hiring me. I’m supposed to call them back tomorrow afternoon and see what kind of progress is being made to that end. I hope I got the job! We sure could use the money since my hubby lost seven months of pay from being out injured from that car accident he was in last fall.
I’ve been doing some research as to how much money Pharmacy Techs make and to be honest it was not as much as I thought it was when I signed up for the class. I’m not sure if I would have signed up for the class if I’d realized how little they actually get paid. It seems to be for a job to require certification and continuing education that companies would pay decent money! But it seems that in this area where I live getting paid decent money is a pipe dream, which is why most people commute an hour or more to go to work. And I don’t want to drive that far to go to work, so I have to just swallow my pride and take a lower paying job.
Oh well, I need the money and the job is close to home. With the price of gas going up as much as it has, and as much as it is going to be going up, I’ll be the lucky one bringing home more money at the end of the week once the costs of commuting are figured into the picture!
