Same. Need to finish my Master's, but haven't had the time.

Hows the job market for food science majors? I'm a liberal arts major working as a dairy technician, interested in moving up in the industry but I work alongside a food science major so I'm wondering if he is more the exception than the rule (we're both not paid very well).

I'd probably do a year of prereqs before entering a M.S. program.

It was mathematics until I decided that I liked the job that I had during college. Now it looks like I may do a Business major online.

Yeah, not may options down here.

Market is good as far as I can tell. Currently, I'm in the process of hiring two supervisors and three QA techs.

I'm planning on a major in comp or electric engineering...

Recommendations on another major or minor? Was thinking finance or applied math.

History then law school. Looking back, should have done a hard science, but I was too lazy, why work to learn something when you can just read it once and get it.
