I'm currently 16 trying to look for a pharmacy technician job. I have heard some major pharmacies such as CVS hires at least at the age of 16, and New York does not have any form of regulation or limitations on requirements. Will someone (preferably a pharmacy employee who knows such an employee or a pharmacy technician whom started at the age of 16 in New York only) clarify the validity of this? I would really like to know more so I may know what to expect. Thanks!
