I was a pharmacy technician for 2 years before Walgreens started cutting hours. But anyways thats a whole nother story..

When I worked there which was up until Feb 2009, I never got certified because I never planned to work there for a long time (I am going to go to Pharmacy school). But after I left (At least here in FL) from what I heard all of the technicians will need to be certified before they can continue to work in the pharmacy. I dont know much about the cost of the class, but I have friends that bought the books and studied on their own and got certified.

Pay wise im not sure what it is in Cali, but in Florida I was making $11 an hour and I was part time not certified.

Hope this helps!!!
