5 REASONS WHY BEING A FOODTECHNOLOGIST IS ONE OF THE COOLEST JOB
Foodtech
is the term which is uncommon to most but it’s starting to pop up
again and again in small circles across the globe.One may be
familiar with the termfood
technology (if
not, Wikipedia has it covered) but foodtechnology is more than just a
branch of food science. It’s new and exciting and as yet not
entirely defined. From Louis Pasteur’s research on the spoilage of
wine till today, food biotechnology has taken an astounding height.
So, here are the five benefits of studying food
biotechnology/foodtech.
1.
Job security
The
food industry is one of the largest on the planet, and people will
always have to eat. This means if you are working anywhere along the
food supply chain, you will always have a job. Although there are
food companies that close or have layoffs, chances are you can apply
your skills to other foods or processes, which I is a huge benefit of
this degree.
2.
Diverse environment
When
working in the food industry, there are literally thousands of
different jobs available. You aren’t limited to lab work or a desk
job. There is something for everyone, whether it be in quality, R&D,
sales, marketing, manufacturing, teaching or in government. The food
science degree is inherently multidisciplinary, which opens up a
myriad of opportunities.
3.
Salary possibilities
A
degree in food science offers many opportunities to earn top-dollar
salaries. The median salary in 2015 for people with a degree in food
science was estimated more than $80,000 and even higher for those
with graduate degrees. Median starting salaries were $44,000. People
who got into management positions made six figures and above.
4.
The food
If
you love food you will definitely enjoy working in this industry.
Whether you are creating exciting new products, testing products for
quality, or doing research, you will be exposed to a plethora of
amazing food. You will discover dishes and flavor combinations you
have never even knew existed (and may even like it).
5.
Travel opportunities
The
food industry is global, and many large companies in the United
States also conduct business in several other countries. Depending on
your position, it’s likely you will get to travel, often paid for
by your company or agency.|
