I am currently a non-certified pharmacy technician. I was told that I would get a $1.00 raise if I become nationally certified. However, I am looking forward to getting into pharmacy school. If I do, I would have to forfeit my pharmacy technician position and become a pharmacy intern; the status of my license would be inactive as long as I am in pharmacy school.
I understand that pharmacy interns are put on their own pay grade. Do you all think that it would be worth it to go through with the national pharmacy technician licensing despite Target paying for it all?
Usually, pharmacy interns start out with approximately $15/hour. If I was nationally certified as a pharmacy technician before and received the raise, would I end up starting at $16/hour?
I am just debating whether or not I should even devote that much time to get a license that would only be active for a few months.
Many thanks,
