Most of them get some on the job training, that's it. Right now, no trade school training is even required to be a pharmacy technician. Most of them get some on the job training, that's it.

Why colleges (or 'trade schools') don't get that lousy training=danger to patients....well, whatever.

It's just that being 19 usually correlates with little/no training and a frightening lack of experience. <br><br>When I was 19, I was a testosterone-overdosed, overconfident dumbass. I agree.

If a 19-year-old had graduated college with the appropriate training I'd have no problem with her mixing my medicine. Funnily enough this came up in my Drugs & Health class yesterday. The girl who had worked in a pharmacy was one of my top students so I wasn't concerned in the least, but I understand that every 19-year-old would not be as mature as Ana.
