Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Dear " Xlady " At this time you do not have to have a college degree to become a pharm tech! You may find some pharmacists who prefer to work with or hire techs with a AA/AS degree or BA/BS but it is not a law or requirement by law in any state. Some day it may become a requirement WHEN standardization of education becomes a reality. However higher education has hurt no one! I saw a bumper sticker the other day: If you think education sucks, try ignorance! I digress..... There is a requirement for most states that you must be 18 and a hs graduate or GED. But a few states still allow 16 yr olds to be techs, whicfh would mean no hs diploma/GED. So I would not put too much stock into not getting hired because you do not have a degree. While it may have helped some people, it is not the norm for requirements or qualifications. Hope this helps, Repectfully, Jeanetta Mastron CPhT BS Founder/Owner From: xxladystylez22xx <Xxladystylez22xX@...> Subject: about the ptcb exam Date: Sunday, January 16, 2011, 11:59 AM do you have to have your ged to get a degree to be a pharmacy tech? ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
