How to get a pharmacy technician job without any degree or experience?
Hello! I’m an incoming freshman, about to attend college this fall. Therefore, I have no experience or degree for any medical field yet. However, I searched online and saw that you don’t need experience working as a pharmacy technician in a retail store, sometimes even in hospital. I’m in a pre nursing major, and it has nothing to do with pharmacy except that they both are medical related field. I thought I could try applying for some retail jobs in CVS and/or Walgreen and get those pharmacy tech skills. But I got rejected both times when I applied. I think they mostly want people with experience working in the position. Do you know what I can do to maybe increase the likelihood of getting into there? I heard if I start out working as a cashier in CVS, there’s a more likelihood that I can be promoted to working in the pharmacy area. Is it true? I’m not as serious about pharm tech jobs as of right now, that’s why I wanna try working there to see if I like this job or not. Thank you!
How do I know what career i should pursue to earn ?
I am clueless, and I am a Master's degree student. The thing is, I can do whatever I put my mind to. I don't have any goals, and I lack skills. I can learn things once I know what direction I have to follow because right now it feels like I have the option of doing anything, which makes me feel stuck and confused.

How do you decide on what to pursue when you have a lot of interests but not a lot of knowledge?
I'm a senior in high school and everyone wants to know my future plans. The thing is, I was homeschooled until recently, and feel like all of my peers got more opportunities to find out what they're passionate about. There are so many topics - writing, education, computers, videomaking, evolution, statistics, helping people - that interest me, but it isn't until recently that I've had the motivation and/or the resources to pursue them. My question is, how do I decide what I want to do with my life, and more importantly money, beyond the "declare your major 1-2 years into college" spiel. #Fall25
