    I don’t know the Indiana laws, but in Illinois, if you are a current high school student, you can become licensed. You don’t need any other education.
    However, most pharmacies do not like to hire non high school graduates.

    I live in Utah and can tell you what the rules are here. You are in another state, and any other answer you get here is somebody’s guess.

    Contact the Indiana State Board of Pharmacy and they can give you the rules and requirements.

    I would bet the guys in the Pharmacy know the rules already. If they are ‘acting stupid’ or otherwise discouraging you, then I would suspect they are not so keen on having a student. I can’t blame them really. Students are more trouble than they are worth, UNLESS they are going to stay with the company.
