Hey everyone! I’m a pharmacy tech trying to find a higher paying job, I’m moving to San Diego where the cost of living is much higher than I’m from. Any suggestions on how I can make more money and have flexibility in my schedule? I work 2 jobs now to pay the bills -a hospital gig ($23/hr)and retail ($16/hr) with 5 years retail experience and 1 year hospital…I’m even open to a change in careers all together since I’m getting a little burnt out in the same position thanks!!!

move to an infusion only pharm tech position. if you’re in a hospital i’m assuming you’re chemo and iv room certified. leaving retail and doing either just compounding for home infusion or that and hospital is the way to go. currently home infusion techs in my boston area start at $27/hr with a $5k+ sign on bonus

I would get out of the pharmacy tech job and move into Biomed. My techs are making $35-$45 a hour (plus OT and on call) depending on them being a Biomed 1, 2, or 3. Moving to San Diego, how do you plan to survive? Making $40 there will not even get you a place to live. Keep in mind we are up in the PNW, not socal.

I am a CPhT and I work for an insurance company. My first salaried role was around $23/hr ($47.5k/yr). I have been able to move twice since then and I currently am making $67,360.

I actually started as a temp, then was hired in a pharmacy call center and the rest is history. The call center role did not require CPhT, but I left there to be a pharmacy auditor.
