Pharmacy Technician 

 Duties and responsibilities:
Pharmacy Technicians work in pharmacies under the pharmacist authorization. They are in charge of filling prescriptions according to doctors' orders for patients. Technicians measure the correct amounts of medicine that patients need. Other responsibilities are:

• Checking inventory
• Ordering supplies
• Keeping pharmacy work areas clean
• Help patients to fill out insurance forms

Pharmacy techanicians work in retail pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, and some large industrial complexes.

Average Salary: $15,000-$25,000

Educational Requirements:

Students should take math, science (especially chemistry), and typing courses in high school. 

A high school diploma is usually required to begin pharmacy technician training.  Two year courses leading to certificates are available at most community collages.  Six month programs are offered at privately operated schools.

I do not want to be a pharmacy technician but I think it is a good career for someone patient and organized. I like the way they have a lot of responsibilities and the salary is good. It sounds interesting but it is not my type of job.

Student Success Statement

 "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."

Henry David Thoreau

I think this quote means that if you have your goals set and accomplish them you are going to live the life you wrote for yourself. For example I have a notebook where i write everything that comes to my mind that i want to make it happen. Then i read them five minutes almost every day and that helps me to remember what my goals are and what i need to make it happen. Go towards your goals confidently. You have to clear your mind and set your goals then you will be able to accomplish them. If you succeed you will live whatever life you wanted to live. I like this quote because it is easy to understand and easy to follow.

Pharmacist

Duties and Responsibilities:

Pharmacists compound, or prepare, prescriptions written by physicians, dentists, and other practitioners. They review these prescriptions to validate their accuracy and then prepare the medication. This can involve weighing, measuring, and mixing drugs.
Pharmacists answer questions about the drugs patients and customers are taking and drugs wich can be sold over the counter. In some cases, pharmacists are responsible for taking inventory and ordering drugs.
Pharmacists work in hospitals, clinics, health departments, universities, and grocery, drug, and discount stores.  Those who work in stores must be aware of the other health supplies available in the store so they do not direct customers in the wrong direction. 

Average Salary:  $33,000 - $51,000

Educational Requirements:
Students should take the most challenging high school classes, including AP if available, in English, science, and math. 
All pharmacists must graduate from a college of pharmacy.  Most pharmacy schools require applicants to take the Pharmacy College Admissions Test, and some require up to two years of pre-pharmacy education.  Other colleges will admit students directly from high school.

I don't want to be a Pharmacist because i think is boring to look for medicines on shelves and ordering more. This may be interesting for someone who likes organization. I think this is not the right job for me and i wouldn't enjoy it.
