Is it easy to find a job in food testing and management?

Let me tell you clearly: Not good. My major in food nutrition and testing should be about the same. After I graduate, I can only go to the food industry to work as a quality control or inspector like the testing center mentioned above. It is good to be able to enter, but it is difficult to think about how many testing centers there are. Ah, there are more and more people born in testing majors every year. If they can become civil servants, there will be no problem, but it is very difficult. Let me analyze the pros and cons for you

Advantages: 1. It is easy to find a job (no Divided into men and women) As long as you are a food company inspector or quality control person, there will be job hopping every year. The prerequisite for finding this job is that there must be a company recruiting people

2. The recruitment of inspectors or quality control generally requires a college degree. There are also technical secondary schools, and of course some undergraduates will do it. The academic requirements are not too high

3. The boss will pay attention to a stable job as long as you want to do it seriously

Disadvantages: 1. Although it is easy to find a job, you have to work in a food company. Other companies cannot get in. You can go to the recruitment website to apply for an inspector or search for quality control companies. There are not many companies

2. There are people with all levels of academic qualifications working in this industry, so there is great competition pressure. The age of companies working in this industry is generally 20-30 years old, and companies especially like to find fresh graduates

3. Although it can be long-term But the salary is really not high. I worked as an inspector in large companies such as the Fortune 500. Three of them had very low wages. Then I worked as a quality control inspector in a Fortune 500 company, where I had to work shifts. Colleagues on the production line work shifts together and the hours are unbearable. The inspector's salary: 1,500, which is incredible. My company got 2,000 after one year. It's not bad, but the provident payment is okay. In a year and a half, including mine, I got more than 6,000. Guan: I’ve seen people get paid 4,000 but only work overtime every day

4. This needs to be emphasized. When doing tests, concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated hydrochloric acid are often used. This is not critical. You will hear it. There are toxic reagents that I have never heard of, and some of them are volatile. Long-term exposure may not even allow children to be born, dear! !

5. It is difficult to develop. Like the one upstairs said, use more instruments. Generally, companies can have so many awesome instruments. Hey, the most awesome thing for food companies is the spectrophotometer. The person upstairs said that they can learn it by themselves. Repair, yes, haha. If the leader finds out that you can't repair the instrument, he won't punish you. To learn how to repair the instrument, you might as well go directly to the instrument company. The people who sell instruments there know how to use various instruments, their operating principles, and some even know how to repair them. They will provide various trainings for food companies. As long as you know how to play with the instruments and can produce data, it will be fine.

Let me tell you so much first, just to give you a reference. You are a high school graduate. Now you If you think the major sounds good, you should actually think about it carefully. Don’t listen to the school’s nonsense. Ask graduates of that major. Also, try looking for testing jobs on recruitment websites. Haha. It will be an instant tragedy

Quoting what others have said:

Food undergraduates from Hefei University of Technology, Sichuan University, Jiangnan University and other key universities are busy changing their majors and trying hard to escape from this major. /industry. . . . . . . . . .

Because employment and development are too...

Food Science and Technology, Jiangnan University, Nanchang University, China Agricultural University, Zhejiang University, Nanjing Agricultural University and other institutions are pretty good; Shanghai Ocean University, South China University of Technology, Jiangsu University, Hefei University of Technology, Zhejiang Gongshang University, etc. are also pretty good; just a reminder, food jobs tend to have low starting salaries, and master's degrees from famous food schools are also pretty good. Just 3000-3500

There are indeed people in the food industry who have become famous, such as those who climbed to the professor level after studying for Ph.D.s, and those who are food company executives such as the chairman of Moutai , are all outstanding; however, there are very few and many like this, and it will take many years. It is difficult for any food person to join this wave. The small probability events can be ignored and cannot represent or replace the status quo and the overall situation; we must look at The situation of most people can represent the industry;

You must choose the right major. Men are afraid of entering the wrong industry, and women are also afraid of entering the wrong industry! There are huge differences in income, development, and prospects for graduates from different industries. Engineering majors such as computers, communications, medical imaging, engineering, machinery, and construction have much better jobs, and their starting salaries are much higher. Please help those friends online who have no personal experience. Stop talking nonsense, we can no longer harm uninformed and ignorant students, and we can no longer ruin their futures! ! Is it easy for us to live in poverty for ten years? Is it easy for our parents to work hard to pay for our school fees? You can't make the mistake of choosing a gloomy major and ruin your efforts, youth, and all your efforts...

Those who don't know, you Do you know food science and engineering? Have you ever received a bachelor's or master's degree in this major? How much do you know about employment opportunities for PhDs in this major? If you don’t know clearly, please don’t get involved in calling me an angry youth or anything like that! As a food person (a 211 food school, ranked within 60 in the country, master's degree), I will tell you some of what I have seen and heard! Among the many majors in colleges and universities, food and biology majors are the most popular among those majoring in change careers. This is because of difficulties in finding employment, very low starting salaries, and very hard work!

Food major and biology major are notoriously bad majors in China! To put it bluntly, in China, these majors are a mess; unless you get a doctorate from a prestigious university, you may be lucky enough to be a teacher in a not-so-good university; generally speaking, even if you have China Agricultural University, Jiangnan University, and Nanjing Agricultural University Graduates from top food schools such as , South China Institute of Technology, and Zhejiang University are not immune to sluggish employment and narrow development space. Jiangnan University has the only first-level national key discipline of food science and engineering in the country. It should be quite strong, but What about employment? There is no exception! My undergraduate classmates have master's degrees in food from Jiangnan University, China Agricultural University, and Nanjing Agricultural University. Their laboratory remuneration and starting salaries are not very good. The general starting salary is 3000-3500. How can people survive in first-tier cities?

The best way to study food at the moment is to take the civil service examination and go to the national inspection department of food, medicine, customs, etc., or to get a doctorate from a famous food school and enter an ordinary university. The other ways are relatively poor (a very few people squeeze into Mars) Not bad, the starting salary is 10K, COFCO’s starting salary is 5K, and companies like Yihai Kerry have better pay, but it’s very difficult to get into. There are only a few people recruited across the country every year, and they don’t necessarily recruit food, they may be in other majors. The targets are basically the top 20 universities such as Peking University);

Graduates in more categories have to choose food, beverage, pharmaceutical and other enterprises related to their majors for production and independence. Choosing to work overtime and shifts day and night, biological clock disorder, irregular life, intense rhythm, high mental pressure, physical and mental exhaustion... Ordinarily, such hard work should be rewarded with a high salary, wrong ! Big mistake! ! This is not the financial industry, not the shipping industry...Food, this sanctimonious profession, is not only hard work, but also low-paid. This is obvious to everyone. The food industry is a fast-moving consumer industry with high labor intensity and additional costs. The value is generally low, and the threshold is generally not high; and the technical content of the domestic food processing industry is basically very low, and few companies are willing to spend money on research and development. It is determined by the general environment. If you don’t do it without conscience, you will go bankrupt and you will be OUT. , this is disgusting

General environment;

Go and check for yourself how many powerful mainland food companies are left? Master Kong is better, make no mistake, she belongs to Taiwanese, not mainland China; Hsu Fu Chi is a bit famous, but unfortunately it has been acquired by Nestlé! The national brands we should be proud of in the past, such as Totle, Yinlu, Little Sheep, Quanxing Group, Best Food and many other well-known Chinese food companies, have been adopted by Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, Danone Group of France, Yum Brands of the United States, and Nestlé Group of Switzerland. and other acquisitions or mergers by multinational companies. With the industry in recession, the local food economy has switched sides one after another... which is worrying! !

Jiangnan University, the number one food school, only has a graduate salary of about 3,500 for food graduates. The starting salary for more food graduate students is only about 3,000; such a salary even for undergraduates from advantaged universities such as computer science, software engineering, and communications. The starting salary for IT undergraduates in Jilin University, Peking University and other colleges and universities is basically 4000-6000! Can you see this industry gap? Do you think it's fair? Do you think it's worth paying for it? Our government should also open an eye! ! ! Otherwise, the national food will really be doomed and completely annihilated! Pay attention to the health of Chinese people! ! ! ! ! !

Over the years, we have recalled: Sudan red, melamine, clenbuterol, dyed steamed buns, waste oil and other food problems that have come and gone. Now we finally know the inside story, future and importance of this industry. ; In China, if you want to eat something that is not poisonous, it is very difficult, unless you are a leader and have a special supply! !

Change your career, all colleagues who study food, and all potential food people who are ready to join the food industry, give up food, and leave this industry that is only bitter, unfair, and bleak! ! Let us live up to the bright future, find new ways, and work hard for a brilliant tomorrow!
