You can easily get a job in a drugstore, even with no experience. All you need is a HS diploma/GED and a clean criminal record. Anywhere "good" to work (hospital, mail-order) requires experience. This is one of the few medical jobs where the amount of experience is by far more important than if you have formal training. I've worked at 2 different drugstores, and I have yet to meet a pharm tech that has been through formal training.
