This is interesting to me, as I try to change careers with no degree. I recently applied for the Walgreens Pharmacy Tech Apprenticeship.[^1] But, it seems like those jobs will be automated away soon too... I'm really looking for a tech support job, but options are limited in this small town.

Pharmacy Techs should be relatively safe for awhile. In a busy pharmacy the techs do most of the work with a single pharmacist overseeing. Techs even operate the automated pill counters and such.
