In 10 years, I would like to be in food product development laboratory for a large food corporation. To get to that position, the entry level food scientist will work in the quality assurance lab and work your way up to the product development sector. The product development could possibly lead to quality assurance department head for a plant. To get a job with a food company, having experience counts. Being a member of the Institute of Food Technologists is a great way to stay on top of current topics and network with other companies. Working upward in most food companies happens pretty quickly, so just having previous experience will make that easy. Cargill is one of the world's leaders in employment and opportunity so they have departments specifically geared torward any food field I would want, so opportunites to work for them are open.
