[EastCoast710]

What are people going to school for to get into the legal cannabis industry . so when you are sending.out resumes yours might end up closer to the top of the pile.

This question is more toward people who have worked in the industry or around the industry and of course the owners of the businesses in the industry .

Nothing....

Most folks hiring outside help want their employees to follow orders not make decisions.

No education with a willingness to learn will get you in the door faster than telling your prospective employer how to handle their business.

As far as growing it, a degree in Horticulture from your local community college can't hurt. That's what I'm doing.

You want a REAL degree from a accredited university... In a REAL field of (scientific/stem) study, such as biology/botany, plant nutrition, agronomics, horticulture, greenhouse design and construction, and so on. Electrician, architect, contractors, licensed. Real professional state certifications and licenses are where it's at - those are going to be more valuable than many 4+ year degrees. If you get into some kind of program at a college, making sure it ends in you being a certified and licensed something or other is one way to make sure you get your money's worth. Otherwise college is kinda a crap shoot, but still otherwise for jobs you want some kind of degree next.

College is worthless if you take any of those history/gender/fem/sjw courses they are ramming down kids throats nowadays.

Just knowing stuff and having done it forever xyz years doesn't matter again yes you are trainable and so must be willing to learn more than anything, but truly there are guys out there with xyz years of experience growing and ALSO have degrees and experience with REAL jobs and real job history.

If you spent all your time slinging running your own personal cash business making bank, so what, that doesn't count as much as working at starbucks or pruning and arranging flowers and having customer service experience, being trustworthy, being able to handle a retail or production setting, do actual work and not be stupid high all day, etc., etc... (+ having some kind of real degree).

No weed job, real job, industry job, weed industry job, from budtending to owning a dispensary, wants or uses looks at or cares about any of those cannabis schools and their BS degrees, out side of the few accredited ones and they are only worthwhile for the couple classes that cover information for necessary certifications the state makes you receive for certain jobs in the canna-agro industry (like pesticide certifications) - but many state universities offer such courses, and such tests truly are very easy and you could read some free materials and the appropriate state and federal laws and pass easy peasy.
