Survey of Dairy Products-Judging Contestants. II. What Salaries Do Dairy Products-Judging Contestants Get After Graduation?

Committee on Judging Dairy Products, A.D.S.A.

ABSTRACT

Salary and type-of-employment distribution studies were made of 569 contestants who participated in the Collegiate Students' International Contest in the Judging of Dairy Products from 1930 to 1956, inclusive. These respondents represented 55% of the 1,037 former contestants to whom ballot-envelope-returnable questionnaires were sent. Based upon a previous analysis of vocations involved, which coincided remarkably well with the jobs of those responding, this sampling appears to be statistically representative of the mass.

Seventy-one per cent of the graduates out of college less than 5 yr. were in the salary bracket under $6,000. Nearly one-third of those out of college 15–20 yr. were beyond the $12,000 level.

One hundred and seventy dairy industry-related workers, reporting their specific salaries, averaged $8,334; whereas, 62 nondairy-employed graduates averaged $8,995. Eighty-nine nondairy employees, indicating their general and/or specific salaries, with perquisites, averaged $9,940 yearly. Of this group, top salaries reported were $21,000, $26,000, and $41,000. The top salaries reported by those presently employed in the dairy industry were $25,100 and $27,000.

Rating of jobs in dairy plants according to average salaries was as follows:

Manager, sales, owner, superintendent, assistant manager, procurement and quality control, laboratory, assistant superintendent, fieldman, and student trainees. Plant owners reported the widest range in salaries; student trainees the narrowest.

Average salaries of graduates presently engaged in education and public service were markedly lower than those of graduates connected with dairy plants and/or in nondairy and private enterprise. Average salaries of educators were directly related to the years out of college.

As a group, graduates attain the highest average salary from 16 to 20 yr. following graduation.
