Is it easier to become a pharmacy technician first and then a pharmacist or should you get your bachelor's degree first and then become a pharmacist?

If you need to work while in school I would think that if you became a pharmacy technician first and then work on your BA would work well. You would get field experience as well as learning things while working that apply to your degree. Understanding both sides of the job would be helpful in the future.

The difference between CPhT and RPh and PharmD?
CPhT - certified pharmacy technician. You have to pass the national Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam. As a pharm tech you work under a pharmacist and may dispense drugs, but not make the medical decisions a pharmacist might make. RPh - registered pharmacist. Much like a CPhT they have taken a national & state test to become certified/licensed. They must hope a pharmacy degree, which could be either a BS (if awarded before 2000) or a doctorate (PharmD). PharmD - as state above, a doctorate in pharmacy. This is now the standard degree given to pharmacists. You can have a PharmD but not be licensed to be a pharmacist (RPh).
