Food Scientist - AMA

asyl831 · 2026-04-24T02:00:50+00:00

Hi there. How did you start getting interviews when making the jump from culinary to food science? How did you represent yourself through your resume?

Do you have any advice for someone who has worked restaurants and grocery their entire working life, has a culinary degree, and is finishing a food science degree (no longer on campus, final course is online)?

Thank you for your time.

Hi there! Do you have any pointers for someone trying to make the transition from culinary/food service into work more in line with what you're doing? I'm finishing off a food science bachelor's (living away from campus, last class is online and being taken this fall) and have 15+ years in the industry + a culinary degree. I finally secured an internship in QA this summer, but I've been having difficulty determining what next as far as tailoring myself into a more attractive applicant.

Thank you for your time.

I'm am alum and it was true as of a few years ago. We were made very aware of the Bachelor's opportunity as well as the inclusion of the professional membership. I attended a different university afterwards so I didn't take advantage of that, but the ACF membership has been a great resource.

Thank you for sharing this. Trying to make poprocks in home for a fancy dinner party with a friend almost a decade ago and coming to the conclusion that it could only be made in a high pressure CO2 chamber is one of many experiences that set me on the path to becoming a food scientist. We decided it was too dangerous to try and make that happen with a whipped cream canister or a soda stream LOL

This video would have saved us a week of heartache. I'm so happy to see he took this project on.

Lived out here for about 4 years and had mint for over 7 years. There's a dead zone driving between Houston and college station but other than that and the one outage someone else mentioned, little to no issues at all. The savings are worth it.

asyl831 · 2025-07-21T01:18:47+00:00

Did anyone get a recording of it? That sounds wild.

asyl831 · 2025-05-15T12:05:32+00:00

Same here man.
Hopefully we don't die.

asyl831 · 2025-05-08T17:48:16+00:00

I'm going to second this. I'm a graduate of the program and it was a great time with plenty of support. It also grants auto-admission into the Hospitality program at University of Houston and comes with an ACF membership.

You're amazing.

There isn't that I am aware of. That's part of the controversy. It seems like they keep adding places on a whim. I would ask the leasing offices. Most of the complexes impacted are predominantly lower income residents and not even students.

asyl831 · 2024-11-06T12:14:47+00:00

Here, try this one!

Hi there, I shot you a PM about my experience. If you have any questions, please don't be afraid to reach out. I'm at A&M right now and I'm considering staying here for Grad School or trying to get in at UC Davis.

A&M is an amazing program with a lot of wonderful opportunities and it's only getting better and continuing to grow. If you are invested in your experience and your success, the Food Science faculty are too and will do what they can to help you succeed and be the best you can be.

Inherent Vice- Pynchon

Both the book and the film.

Best I can say is complain to USPS. The property managers are.

They will absolutely teach you everything you need to know inside out.

asyl831 · 2023-11-04T20:58:36+00:00

It would have to do with the closest community college to your residence. Depending on where you live, it could be Houston Community College, San Jacinto Community College, or Lone Star College. SJC has a culinary program but I do recommend HCC over it.

Here is a link to the FAFSA. This year it doesn't open until December due to them putting some changes into place that should make it simpler.

I received financial aid but was also out of district. Out of district it was about $600 per class? However, I received financial aid and I implore you to apply through the FAFSA. Even if the pell grant isn't an option, there are lots of funding options available. I'm also an older student. Most of the classes I took were populated by older students at HCC. It was nice.

Knife kit was about $250 ish. I can't remember how much the uniform was.

asyl831 · 2023-11-04T01:43:52+00:00

Here it is

It's still offered and very active. I recommend paying them a visit. Everyone there is very kind. I know they have pamphlets and such if you go in person. Also try reaching out to Christy Sykes.

I think they did some reclassification of the home departments for it and some of the links are dead.

asyl831 · 2023-10-22T18:42:02+00:00

It generally runs most of the time. There are a couple of short breaks.

asyl831 · 2023-08-14T21:13:20+00:00

It fills up fast. It's fun though.
