Quit insulting me and tell me how what i just said was wrong. fun fact… it isn’t
I don’t want to pay to learn from you as i am seeking discovery, that doesn’t explicitly apply to you or anyone here, it’s my general approach.
I have a very unconventional way of learning and interacting with other humans, I’m not a bad person. If you didn’t first disrespect me, i never would have disrespected you.
Yeah sorry you disrespected all of us because we wouldn’t give you what we strove to learn over years in a condensed paragraph so fuck off.
Do you not remember your bitchy little statement about me ignoring you because I was busy with my own life and family and had no obligation whatsoever to you? Yeah. You pushed that boulder down the hill with that one, buddy.
I’m not your buddy, pal.
Judging by how you treat people that doesn’t just apply to me!
Happy VD!
How i treat people? After being bashed by you and others what did i do?
I left the conversation alone. I didn’t continue the argument.
I have not targeted you or anyone else that was involved.
Why are you targeting me…?
I’ll just let everyone make up their own mind and read your own words you wrote. They can start here.
I personally think college is only good if you know how you’re gonna apply your degree. If you’re going into a field and the degree will help you in your everyday job. That’s the ideal situation.
I really think kids shouldn’t go to school unless they have a job sponsor. At least it gives a student direction.
I almost went to stern. When doing orientation, the first 2 weeks of school is a job interview for a corporation you would be required to do a summer internship at. You worked your whole degree geared towards working for that company upon completion of your mba.
Let’s start with this.
Oh and this.
And finish with this
This was days ago… and you’re bringing it up again?
I know my faults, i am self-aware and yes, i am an asshole, why keep targeting me though? I left you alone, i left the discussion alone and here we are again bringing it up?
What do you want from me, an apology?
Hey @TeslaWRLD,
Pleasure to make your e-acquaintance! that’s awesome that your current job is willing to pay for the majority of your bachelor degree! Even more awesome that you want to take advantage of it, Kudos to you!
There are many majors to choose from, but my personal opinion is this; study what you want to learn. If your passion is in chemicals and extraction, study that. If your passion is in hardware, then engineering’s your best bet. However, I’d say if your end goal is to have a cannabis-related job, you don’t need to limit yourself to just those two(or similar majors). There are a myriad of opportunities in the Cannabis sector; accounting, sales, management, marketing, etc.
As others have mentioned, I would say plan ahead so that you’re able to be flexible. See what pre-reqs match up with most of the majors you’re interested in, and as you learn more about the different aspects of Cannabis industry, you may become partial to it.
My history/experience-
I worked as a banker for Bofa(corporate sales basically) for years before I switched to sales with my current company(510 hardware). My major? Political Science w/ an emphasis on comparative analysis. And yes, I make a pretty good living; as most do in the successful parts of the Cannabis Industry. I absolutely LOVE the cannabis industry and between travelling to shows + dining out clients, I plan for this job to be the last one I have until I retire.
What a degree did for me is simple; Open doors. It can do the same for you, if not more. If you choose to specialize, I say specialize in your passion so that you can actually become the best. Weed industry-related majors are kind of like programming; yes, you can get a major and learn all about programming and become super successful and rich! BUT as others have mentioned, it’s not necessary, as many now-billionaire coders have shown us in the past. Same can be said for extractors, farmers, manufacturers, etc.
The hardest part in finding a steady-income with growth in the Cannabis Industry is going to be finding the right employer. Because it’s such an emerging industry, there’s alot of money-grabs that fail real quick. I’ve had many a co-worker quit and take better offers at other companies, only to have them belly-up and become jobless within the year. And if you need a steady income to provide for a family or yourself, then ideally you won’t have to switch jobs or have periods of no-income.
Just my two cents, hopefully it helps!
Have a great Valentine’s everyone!

Been there, done that. The top 20 or so law schools are worth one’s time if you can get in, and you can graduate toward the top of the class. As you go down the school rankings, you need to be in the top 10% of your class, and ironically the schools get harder as they get worse in ranking. The worst law school is Cooley. They accept the people who cant get in anywhere else, then flunk out 2/3rds of them, so that these people dont later flunk the bar exam and drive down their bar pass rate.
I came here to say this. I would have gotten to the same path more quickly in the industry if I did electrical or HVAC instead of the kiddie college debt trap right out the gate.
True about finding the right employer
Chemical Engineering has been a godsend for me.
It’s a great combination of chemistry, process design, finance and business.
Incubators say otherwise
Just lie about having a degree
If I could do it all over I’d pursue engineering of some kind. Chemistry would be an easy second. I pursued Business Technology and to this day it’s what pays me the most (Mostly Contracts) and has allowed me to subsidize other passions. I agree with the sentiment a degree isn’t necessary but I think that is also a lesson in itself.
May don’t be rude and disrespectful with your replies and people will learn to be more civil with you.
Novice concept, I know
I’m going to work today , from home , in sweat pants. I’ll be looking at the water behind my house out my office window and chilling with my dogs instead of working too hard
I’m glad I wasn’t up an hour ago and dragging my cold ass up onto a roof this morning , like I used to have to do before I got a degree
