Symposium: Selecting a Career in the Dairy Industry¹

Careers in Education and Research

Dairy Department, Michigan State University, East Lansing

ABSTRACT

TO DELINEATE THE TOPIC

In our consideration of Education and Research as a career in the dairy industry, it would seem best that attention be directed only to that work in a university, college, or department which offers studies in dairying.

It must be recognized that some educational, or teaching, duties are involved in nearly all careers which a dairy major may contemplate. Some students in dairy production anticipate work in vocational agriculture. But here, no research duties are involved; we shall not consider this field of education. Extension work revolves almost exclusively around educational, or teaching, duties with farmers or dairy processors, along with many activities of a demonstrational nature, but seldom is a worker in this career in dairying able to devote much attention to formal research projects. Thus Extension, which is an excellent and satisfying type of work, would seem beyond the scope of my topic.

Furthermore, a dairy-trained man in Foreign Service or in dairy production or manufacturing often confronts situations that involve teaching, but these are contemplated under other topics of our program today.
