This Question Is From: Pharmacy Technician Schools in Arizona and has 2 Answers
I am presently an Accountant, studying for the CPA exam, but the more numbers I crunch, the less I enjoy it. I’ve always tinkered with the idea of becoming a Pharmacy Tech and I was hoping that I could get some feedback from people who have done it. I live in Arizona and I am interested in what schools offer the program, did you like the school, what was the approximate tuition, length of program, and what is the average wage for a Pharmacy Tech these days? Any help would be wonderful. Thanks in advance!!
