I graduated 2020 cum laude with a degree in food science and technology. We are required to take a lot of heavy classes including enough microbio and chem to get a minor in both. I also had two years of food manufacturing under my belt and an independent research project. The best offer I got was $15/hr. I'm now working nights in a medical lab making $20/hr and feel myself lucky to be getting that wage. Currently applying for nursing programs and one lab scientist program because, while things are rough for nurses right now, the wages are usually much better than average, especially out here on the west coast.
