So, I want to get my foot in the door for the medical field (not entirely certain what I want to do just yet) and thought this might be a good start.
I've looked around and currently I'm looking at a program that's $2000 (not including the PTCE test), but it is 300hrs and an externship. Is it worth it or should I just buy the book off Amazon and take the test for $130?
Also, how many of you out there work(ed) as a Pharm. Tech. w/o the certification? I would rather have the cert, and from what I've looked up it seems most places require the cert.
What is the top-out salary for a Pharm. Tech. on average anyway and where could I go from there (besides a pharamacist which is a billion years of school)?
