    Start applying for jobs at some pharmacy. With your degree, you may already qualify for that position.

    Oh, you shouldn’t have a problem with that. You already have skills. Just apply to drugstores, local pharmacies, and hospitals directly, and have a resume typed up with your past education and/or work experience.

    I don’t know how the process goes for citizenship and foreign degrees, but becoming a technician shouldn’t be hard at all.

    Good luck : )

    It depends on what state you live in. Try and apply to local pharmacies. Once you pass the FPGEE and TOEFL, you’ll be able to work as a pharmacy graduate intern and make at least double the money a tech makes.
