    Yeah it's good money but some of you guys should look up what jobs you have or what you think you may be when you get out of school. We didn't have the internets like it is now when I was in school. Do some research.

    I don't have an accounting degree yet. Once I have it I will be able to get up higher on the ladder and make a lot more.

    Atomic, how old are you?

    I mean, I'm 22, but when I was in high school, we still had the internet and did career research, and that was like 6-7 years ago

    35. We didn't do career research. I had no idea what I wanted to do for a living or any idea of what those people would make. I went into the National Guard for Louisiana and thought heavy equipment (dozer motor graders and crap like that) would be a good job. It didn't take long to figure out in my civilian life that 5.50 a hour and ears and nose full of dirt wasn't for me. A position for a ground man was open where my sisters boyfriend worked and he turned me on to the job. Still started at 5.50 but at the time top linemen were making 14 a hour. So I had a cool job where I could use my head and not just my back in a lot of laborer jobs with the potential of making more money for putting time and effort. If I had it to do over again I'd have went to college and not have gotten out of the ARNG possibly went into some kind of business for myself.

    I work in a mobile recording studio for a few dollars an hour, and do my own recording, production and beat-making services. I also write freelance articles for audiotuts.com when I need money, but I haven't submitted one in a long time. Other than that I'm a student.

    Reality wise, I work as a pharmacy technician and I love my job (granted a few childish exceptions). I get to help people every day, often times I am probably the center point in most elderly people's day. Some of them, their only social encounter is at the pharmacy, so I try to be polite and respectful.

    At the same time, I unfortunately see how some people really can be and I try my best to make sure I never get like that. We have 60 something year old guys who have been married for 40 years, getting Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, etc, and sleeping around on their wives, I see the "virgin" 17 year old girl who potentially gets knocked up and she cons her boyfriend into coming to the pharmacy to get Plan B "just in case."

    It's an interesting angle to see the world from.

    What exactly is the job of a pharmacy technician? I was under the assumption that without any training in a pharmacy you can only stock shelves or other similar tasks. You must be pretty good at whatever it is you do to get guys to tell you that they been married for 40 years and that they are cheating on their wives.

    I input prescriptions in the actual computer system, I actually fill the medications, I order medication that the pharmacy needs, I mix the liquid anti-biotics, I also do "stock the shelves" as it's party of inventory management.

    We basically do everything under the supervision of a pharmacist. And people tell us a lot of things. We couldn't go off telling anybody, there's an act that protects health privacy called HIPAA and it basically binds us to keeping silence as to who whoever is on what.

    Basically, a wife can't go into a pharmacy and demand to know what her husband is on. Even spouse's can't get each other's medication history. The rules surrounding that are that strict. I can't call at home and leave a message about a medication, I can only say "Mr Smith we have a small issue regarding a medication you fill here, could please call us back at XXX-XXXX. Thank you and have a nice day."

    We can do a lot of things, I could write a novel but nobody would really understand the small details unless they actually worked in the field.

    I know the rules. I just find it surprising that people are willing to tell a pharmacy technician(I mean sorry but you aren't a real pharmacist and you're young) that they are cheating on their wives for 40 years.

    You wouldn't believe half the stuff people tell me. Pharmacists rarely actually handle talking to the patient unless the patient has questions about their medication or medical related questions. Otherwise It's me they interact with. We as the pharmacy team, are the frontline in the healthcare field. Most people ask a pharmacist a question about a healthcare issue before inquiring with their primary care physician. It's a level of trust that goes back generations.
