I’ve been a pharmacy tech in retail and clinics in Houston for almost 20 years now. The job was supposed to just be while I was in school but I seem to have gotten stuck in the position. I have reached the “glass ceiling” so to speak and need to make more money. I only make like $23/hr now and that’s not working in this economy. Any advice?? I’m lost looking at jobs. I have a BS in Biology and Spanish.

Have you considered Pharmacy school?

I’ve definitely considered it and have kicked myself for not doing it back in the day. I don’t know if I would be able to go back to school now with kids and having to keep working to pay the bills. Maybe something less rigorous and less time than pharmacy school..

Have you consider possibly a sales job in pharmaceutical? With out the pharmacy degree! I would see if you can switch something in hospital role! Look into MDAnderson since you have biology degree

I’m actually in remission for cancer that was treated at MD Anderson! That would be awesome to work there. I will have to see what I could do with my degree. Thank you.
