I just got my Bachelor's in Economics from Sac state. Will having my Bachelor's degree look good when applying for a pharm tech position? Second, so are you saying that taking the PTCB is not required by anyone, just having your license, but if you do take the test and pass, then will it look good to employers? What is required for your state license? Thirdly, I am pretty burnt out on school and my job, I am a server right now and I want to be a pharm tech as soon as possible, so are you saying that schooling is not required as well? What are my odds of getting a pharmacy tech position with just my Bachelor's degree and passing the PTCB test? I've heard that the pharmacies want people with experience. I have thought about starting out as a clerk as you mentioned to get my foot in the door, but I fear that they will just want to keep me in that position and then I will get stuck, and never move up to pharm tech position. I just graduated from Kaplan University Pharmacy Technician program and started working in Knights Drugs Inc. the next day. It really depends upon the person and what the company is looking for. If you go to a CVS that has maybe one Pharmacist and one Tech with little to no experience thery would more likely need a Tech who has say an educational background or certification to back them
