Abstract

You just received your degree in food science. Congratulations, you’ve successfully navigated a rigorous technical curriculum and have proven that you own a broad base of valuable knowledge (and a nice-looking diploma) that’ll provide tremendous career opportunities over the next 30-40 years. The first step in embarking on your new career is to land that first job in the food industry. What type of job can a newly minted BS, MS, or PhD in food science expect? It all depends on your interest, your skills, the available job opportunities, and the degree you earned (BS, MS, PhD). If you were able to participate in an internship, you’ve likely developed some interest in what direction you would like to begin. There are many places to start and many “sub-sectors” of the food industry to explore.
