  Often, there will only be one pharmacist and everyone else will be pharma techs. I think it depends on your state what education the techs need to have. But there are definitely just certification programs (less than a year long) rather than full blown degrees for it.

  Whoops, by helmed, I meant most of the customer facing techs. Not the actual pharmacist.

  I got on-the-job training to be a pharmacy tech at a Walgreens while I was in college. My state required that you be licensed at the national and state level, but it was just a test and some continuing education credits.

  My current state doesn’t require either, so the techs are definitely skewed younger. Thankfully I finished college and work elsewhere now so I can only guess at their ages but teenagers seems accurate.
