There's no simple answer to this. It depends on if you're hired part- or full-time and what kind of pharmacy you work for.
Personally, I was able to keep it to less than 20 hours a week since I'm in school full-time.
I don't think geographic location has any bearing on your schedule.

In south jersey techs start with $8.00. Moved up to 10.50 as a P1. I was working 30-34hrs/week since I was also taking classes. Like the poster above said, it depends on how often you want to work and whether you applied for full time or part time.

I think that this depends on the pharmacies needs...
I'm going to work 20 hrs or less...I'm going to be FT student in the fall
I'm a tech in central NJ. And everyone is right it depends on who you work for and how many hrs you want. I worked about 16 hrs a week (when going to school full time) because I only wanted to work on saturdays and sundays, but some of the other techs I work with that are full time students would rather work weekdays at night so they work roughly 25 hrs or so. However, during breaks (summer and winter) I go back to being full time and get to work 30-40 hours.
