Lead: Food science and engineering are good for employment. I can tell you for sure that it is good for employment, but finding a job and finding a good job are two different things. As I studied food science and engineering, I am now planning to enter a higher school. I am very qualified to answer this question. Employment is no problem, but only a few people can get high income. Specifically, Mr. Zhao analyzes it from the following aspects.
Introduction to Food Science and Engineering Specialty Food science and engineering is called "knowledge on the tip of the tongue", which is an interdisciplinary applied specialty based on chemistry, engineering and biology, studying the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of food and its raw materials, food nutrition, quality and safety, and food engineering processing technology. Studying food specialty is to develop and produce more nutritious, healthier and safer food to meet people's needs for a better life.
Employment direction of food science and engineering Most students choose the region of their colleges for the first time, so large food enterprises in this region are the direction of professional counterparts. Employment direction generally has the following directions.
The future trend of this major suggests that the employment of this major is not a problem. It depends on whether you like it or not, and whether the treatment you want can meet your expectations. In addition, this major is not what you say about baking bread, but there are many things to learn, such as food engineering principles, general microbiology, modern food processing technology, food professional English, food technology principles, food analysis and hygiene inspection, food additive chemistry, fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping storage and transportation technology, postpartum physiology of fruits and vegetables, water storage product processing technology, food fermentation and brewing technology, food packaging, fruit and vegetable processing technology, functional food design and evaluation, introduction to fermentation engineering, food
Finally, I would like to give you some advice. If you don't like it, then go to the university to find a way to change your major. If you like this major, you must have a solid foundation. There are still many places to use in the future. What do you like in the development direction? If you want to do scientific research, it is necessary to take an examination of it. If you want to take the direction of enterprise management, then you will study in a foreign-funded enterprise or a Taiwan-funded enterprise for 3-5 years in your first job. You are an important person when you come out to that enterprise, and systematic knowledge is very important. For example, the author, who learned the management tools in Master Kong, is still in use now, and the way to analyze and solve problems is very good. It is still necessary to take an examination of a nutritionist. You can take an advanced examination after a few years of work. The last key point is to get along well with your tutor, who has a lot of resources, which are basically related to many food enterprises.
END
It must be true that it is easy to find a job and get a good job. Civil servants and institutions also have many places every year, but it is not necessarily a good job to find a job. After all, jobs like this are well paid, the threshold is definitely high, and the relative requirements for academic qualifications are higher!
Food is just needed, so it is important at any time, so the industry demand is also high. Many majors derived from food will also have many jobs, so there are more jobs. Food safety is a livelihood issue, and there will be a lot of work to be done, so it is right in terms of good employment. However, food, as a product with low added value, basically works in a general way, and you can't get rich overnight. I hope you know that.
You still have to be a little forward-looking. You are often a good professional when you are a freshman. Maybe the talent market will be saturated when you graduate from your senior year.
It's true.
As Musk said, there are only two advantages in employment in the future, one is computer science and the other is basic physics. I basically agree with these two views, that is to say, these two directions will have some advantages, and others will not say that the industry is good for employment. At the same time, does good employment mean that it is easy to find a job? Personally, I think it is more important to find a good job, especially the first job, to cultivate my work attitude, learning ability and social skills. The three points I mentioned have really been cultivated. In fact, you can do very well in any line, and you won't stick to any industry. All the above are my past work experience, I hope I can help you.
What you listen to is not necessarily true. Experience doesn't work either. In my Weibo, there are articles devoted to choosing the future study and employment direction. I hope it will enlighten you.

Professional background
The research of life science requires the diversification of nutrients in food. In order to meet the nutritional needs of life at different levels, this is a problem that needs to be solved in food development. The changes of information technology, life science and food culture have shown us the trend of globalization and integration of food industry in the future. The pressure brought by the rapid population expansion on agriculture needs to be shared in food engineering. China is a big agricultural country, and the rational utilization and storage of agricultural resources is the key to restrict agricultural development. Diet is no longer a trivial matter from the day when culture and technology develop at a high speed; The emergence, development and peak of food science and engineering discipline are determined by both natural science and engineering science. The purpose of food science and engineering is to cultivate knowledge of chemistry, biology, food engineering and food technology. Using the basic theories and knowledge of chemistry, biology and food engineering in research and practice, I am engaged in basic training in food production technology management, food engineering design and scientific research, and have the basic ability in food preservation, processing and comprehensive utilization of resources. Master the basic theories and experimental techniques of biochemistry, food chemistry and microbiology; Master the methods of food analysis and detection; Capable of process design, equipment selection, food production management and technical and economic analysis; Familiar with the principles, policies and regulations of food industry development; Understand the theoretical frontier and development trends of food storage and transportation, processing, preservation and comprehensive utilization of resources. Based on the unique conditions, food science has developed rapidly in China, and some achievements have been made in the fields of grain, oil and vegetable protein engineering, especially in the research of vegetable protein molecules. An important aspect of food science and engineering is the introduction and application of chemical unit operation, and the development of food engineering unit operation, thus promoting the development of food industry in the direction of large-scale, continuous and automation. The development of food science and engineering is closely related to chemical engineering and bioengineering. Her development direction is to improve food packaging technology by new packaging means and equipment, and to improve food preservation performance and shelf life. Improve cooking technology and aseptic packaging technology; Study reasonable energy-saving devices to reduce the cost of frozen food; Optimization, automation and computer application of unit operation in food engineering.
Although food science and engineering is a young technical subject, it has already become the main symbol of economic development and improvement of civilization in modern society. The future development trend is to learn from the development results of genetic technology to develop foods with richer nutrition, more delicious taste and more scientific shelf life. For example, scientists are trying to combine the genes of fish and tomatoes to cultivate a new variety (transgenic tomato with fish antifreeze protein gene) that can adapt to cold environment better. This is indeed a particularly emerging field. Although people have been arguing about the advantages and disadvantages of genetically modified foods, we still need scientific quantitative analysis, but we believe that this development direction has good market prospects and social benefits. We can give full play to our imagination, so that food engineering can produce a variety of new foods, enrich our dining table and beautify our lives.
