Pharmacy Tech is not a stable or well paying job to be completely honest.

I didn’t believe you so I Googled it, and local pharmacy techs only make $17/hr on average in my area. Even fast food is paying more than that. What the hell.

Hey, need to move across country for your job or family?

Good thing your girlfriend can afford to be flexible and make the move work because she can basically find work anywhere the fuck she wants as a pharmacy tech.

I think that’s the thing, it’s not that amazingly well paid. Considering it only requires a high school diploma and a certificate it pays well, but overall you’re probably only making around $38-55k per year. I did find some exceptions such as the upper end of NYC techs making $65k, but even LA had a high end of $55k. Maybe the salary data I saw was wrong, but that’s not particularly well paying.

The high paying job is the Pharmacist who is probably pulling in $120-160k, but the tech is doing all the real work.

This guy probably looks at it like they aren’t conventionally attractive (which isn’t true) and they aren’t making stupid high salaries.

From personal experience, that pharmacist salary is offset by insane pressure from management to meet metrics that keep going up and requiring a fair amount of unpaid overtime put in to keep the queues from overflowing.

Then you’ve got a 50:50 chance of a new tech being insane and or stupid because the good ones have long since burned out. They usually are union, though, so good for them.

There’s a reason pharmacists in the US are starting to drop dead on the job.

I think that makes a weird sort of sense. I mean, if you’re gonna pay 1 person 3x what you pay the others you kinda expect them to shoulder more of the burden. Same goes for Doctors in general and Air Traffic Controllers, the barrier to entry is exceptionally high, the pay is high to match, but the expectations are even higher

I can’t speak to the union bit, but I would say most aren’t in a Union in the US since most of the US doesn’t have Unions. If you’re in an area that has them then maybe they get a better deal.

It’s not that the techs do all the real work. There was a time when pharmacists kind of let that happen, but it was a short and long gone era. Now pharmacists must also work hard and we as a team pull together doing the same job to make it happen. Every day is a huge challenge for the whole team-the corporations ensure that’s how it works.

For the workload, pharmacist salaries should probably be smaller than they are and tech salaries should probably be higher than they are. Pharmacist student loans of $250k+ don’t really support that though. It’s a tough situation.

Your first paragraph lines up with my experiences at my local CVS. There’s a hub and spoke model where the pharmacist is in the center constantly checking things while the techs have to branch off to get the drugs as well as deal with the customers at the counter. And the customers at the drive thru. Aaaand the customers on the phone.

And every single one of those customers is asked “do you have a question for the pharmacist?” As they should, of course! But I could see questions coming up at inconvenient times. Because of course they would.

I give them credit. Healthcare techs are underpaid.

It’s a tough situation.

In terms of power dynamics over who is treated with value and who isn’t in modern society then yes it is a different situation to fix, however in terms of complexity this is a very simple situation.

  • Tax the rich
  • Pay Pharmacists and Pharmacy Tech jobs a living wage
  • Hire more employees to reduce the workload.

Yeah it’s one of those things and why we really need to start fixing things. You don’t expect someone whose job is so important that people will die if they mess up or quit to be paid so low. It’s like when you find out ambulance/EMT make less than people who work at Target.

No you see it’s fine because if they mess up a few times we’ll just fire them and then everyone else on the team gets the opportunity to work a little bit harder 😊

For comparison, that’s roughly equivalent to 3d animator salaries in the game industry. First year out of college, you can expect somewhere around $40k a year ($60k for programmers), and you probably don’t see anything in the six digits until you start getting to team leads and other senior level positions.

I can’t speak to your numbers, but using the same salary comparison searches I used for the Pharmacy Tech position it looks like 3D Animator pay is somewhere between $50-105k national average with LA being $98-150k and NYC being $45-110k. Maybe game industry specific is the cause for your lower numbers?

"The author of Invader Zim used to make some really wacky comic books about a suicidal serial killer who couldn’t pull the trigger, who turned out to be serving a greater purpose by culling the herd on earth but he only learns that after rigging up a rube goldberg to shoot himself when his phone goes off (but nobody would ever call him) except today was the day that somebody did in fact call him. He goes to hell and is unimpressed with the devil so the devil transforms into a blonde cheerleader to punish him, which is highly effective.

Hang on, your order is ready…"

Also, both modeled and named after the author — who then later went by “Yonen” to differentiate himself from the homicidal maniac shooting up schools he was drawing while still in school…

I mean I’m glad that they did, but it’s kind of like having Chuck Tingle do a family sitcom.

It is funny you say that because I think one theory is that Chuck Tingle might have been created by one of the McElroy brothers during their time at Polygon.

You could almost consider what they do now to be an audio family sitcom.
