    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.

            Every layer of the American medical system is bullshit.

              Except the humans at the bottom layer doing the actual healthcare and getting ground into pieces by the ruling class exploiting them.

                They exist within a layer of bullshit, workers are the insoluble fiber that keeps everything moving no matter how sick and broken it is. That was kind of a gross metaphor.

                Anyway, general strike is the shortest way forward.

                  I want the people preparing my prescriptions for pills I put into my body to be paid a living wage.

                  What I want is reasonable and any dipshit person in a business suit worth more than my car who wants to condescendingly explain why this can’t happen is a bold faced fucking liar.

                  I WANT THE PEOPLE PREPARING MY PRESCRIPTIONS FOR PILLS I PUT INTO MY BODY TO BE PAID A LIVING WAGE.

                  Anyway, general strike is the shortest way forward.

                  Unionize, organize and strike!!!

              A buddy of mine just got her doctorate in medical prosthetics and has been job hunting. She wants to work with pediatric amputees but the best job offer she got was for $45k after a year of searching. She’s considering moving to another state to take a position doing prosthetics for diabetics, which isn’t in line with her goals but pays $55k.

              I didn’t have to heart to tell her that I made $45k over a decade ago as a first year IT worker with only an Associate’s. I never realized that medical was such a shitshow. Where does our money go when we get thousand dollar medical bills for even the most basic stuff??

        I shared prior, but when I was one, I made $9.35 an hour and that was only a decade ago.

      In Washington State there’s such a shortage I’d call it a good choice for someone who doesnt want to get a college degree
