Symposium: Selecting a Career in the Dairy Industry

Careers in Dairy Manufacturing

American Dairy Science Association, White Plains, New York

ABSTRACT

While there are other opportunities in the dairy manufacturing field, I will confine my comments to those having to do with dairy processing.

1. Areas of opportunity in dairy processing are as follows:
   
   1. Procurement of dairy raw materials.
      
   2. Purchasing of supplies and equipment.
      
   3. Plant supervision.
      
   4. Research and quality control.
      
   5. Engineering.
      
   6. Transportation.
      
   7. Accounting.
      
   8. Insurance.
      
   9. Taxes.
      
   10. Legal.
       
   11. Personnel.
       
   12. Public relations.
       
   13. Sales.
       
   14. Executive Management.
       
   
   
2. Is your college training opening the doors for opportunity?
   

In the processing division one needs training in dairy technology, with emphasis on the sciences for quality control and research and on business administration for company operation. One hears a good deal about the curriculum for the dairy technology student. While I wcmld not belittle its importance, I feel it is not nearly as important as the type of training the graduate gets af ter he enters business and how well he applies himself to a continued program of education. There is abundant proof of this when one considers the type of training that many successful men in the dairy business received while they were in the college or uni-versity.
