Re: about the salary of CPhT

[Guest guest]

The starting pay at one of the local grocery chains in St. Louis is

7.00/hour. Yep. Seven dollars. Seven whole dollars. They'll give you

7.50 if you actually have your CPhT. Also, union membership is

mandatory so they <s>coerce</s> payroll deduct for union dues and

initiation fees.

Ur lucky u get $10. Because here in De I'm working in Walgreens they only

paid $8.50/hr.

Not Sure of the cost of living in your parts of the US. My hospital in San

Texas employ new pharmacy technicians that are certified and

registered with no experience at $10.00/hr

Hi All-

Tech salaries vary quite a bit from region to region. I suggest you

visit salary.com to see the average pay for your region.

http://salary.com

Here in the Great Pacific Northwest the starting salary for a

hospital tech is around $14 to $15/hr. The minimum wage here in

Washington is $7.93/hr

That may sound like quite a bit to some folks, but the cost of living

here is higher than other regions. We're not as bad as California yet,

though we seem to be heading that way.

Washington state also requires that techs obtain education/training

either through a WABOP approved formal training program or a WABOP

approved on the job training program. Upon completion of aforementioned

program the tech must then obtain state certification before one is

allowed to work as a " pharmacy technician " . Washington State does not

recognize PTCB certification as a substitute for state certification at

this time, and I hope it never does---that would be a huge step

backward!!

Thanks for all informations about salary. It seems 10$/hour is pretty

resonable. But I seached on salary.com, that's the lowest salary of my

local area. So I felt a little upset.

Anyway I still hope I can get that job.

Good luck for everyone looking for jobs.

journeyman? that sounds like an apprenticeship rank.

how many years is that? I'm also at a union shop, and

we don't have terms like that. we have steps. I

think we have 12 of them.

I just had a student offered to do an internship at a local Walgreens, with an

automatic hire IF the student learns everything well and IF the student has NO

tardies and absence problems. When hired with registration $12 per hour, then

with PTCB $13 per hour and in 18 onths $16 hour.This is just for this moment in

time and for this specific student. IF any of my students are reading this it is

an unusual offer and is not always the case. Any way the student 'grabbed' the

chance and to my knowledge has an interview set up.

But again this has to do with one location and the area of the country and the

state.LOng Beach California.

So we can not even say that all Walgreen's pay the same even if we were to

look at cost of living. I would think that all Walgreen's in a specific area pay

the same. But the internship process may play a different pay scale or role.

That I am not privy to.

Hey Jeanetta,

How much does an 'average' 2 or 3 bedroom home cost in the Long

Beach/Orange County/LA Metro Area?

I bet it is easily more than triple the $75,000 range of my home here

in Corpus Christi, TX.

You have seen pictures of both my front and back yard. My home is

less than 2 miles from the Corpus Christi Bay waterfront in a 'good'

part of town.

If I were to continue as a CPhT at my salary in 2 to 3 years and add

that to my wife's salary as a school teacher, we would be considered

pretty much a little better off than 'normal middle class' for south

Texas.

BUT that is not how our 'economic status' would be if I got into my

car, drove two hours up I-37 and headed the 1 and 1/2 hours up I-35

from San to the Austin Metro area.

In Austin's economy with the same dollar amount that we earn now

(LET'S JUST SAY REALISTICALLY A COMBINED FAMILY INCOME OF AROUND

$67,500 BEFORE TAXES) we would not be able to afford to have the same

lifestyle that we enjoy here in Corpus Christi because it is

REALLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYY expensive to live in Austin.

(Anette, you will appreciate this: In 1995 I rented a three bedroom

house with 2 good buddies of mine at the corner of 51st and Ave. C

for $580.00/Month! At that time we actually payed less in that

extreme north part of Hyde Park because our house was in the 'flight-

path'. That house would sell now for at least $180,000... Probably

more!!!!)

Unless we wanted to buy a 'cookie-cutter' house up in Round Rock

(Sorry, Anette...) or live way up 183 in Leander, we most likely

would not be able to be 'home owners' because the cost of living is

so darn high in Austin.

I am trying to make the point that a salary for a good job such as a

CPhT 'should' provide a salary that is commensurate to the location,

but I doubt that this is the case in most major metro areas of the

U.S.

Best Wishes From Tropical Texas,

Yes, I actually work in a pharmacy at a walgreens in dallas, and as

far as I know the pay is 10$ an hour...and it goes up yearly...one

person I know moved up to $11.75 in one year. That is alright pay,

considering it is a busy pharmacy (sometimes 700+ scripts a

day...usually 400-500). If you are good you can become a senior tech

in a few years though and I am pretty sure they make good money. I

like working there though and it usually runs smoothly.
