The pay winner is undoubtedly x-ray tech which requires far more training than pharmacy tech as well:http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos105.htm

If by x-ray tech, you mean radiological tech- by far a rad tech makes more. An x-ray tech certification usually does not qualify you as a rad tech, but just to do x-rays at a dentist or docs office. You need a 2 year degree for a rad tech.
If looking at just certifications, a pharmacy tech would probably make more

I don’t know but wouldn’t the xray tech be a lot more interesting than bottling pills all day?

Check out salary.com for each of the different salary ranges. I believe the xray technician gets paid more though. It really all depends on the location too.

x-ray tech, but the schooling is longer and more expensive…usually about two years. That’s what it is near me and there is a Pharmacy Tech program for 6 months.
