I am 18 year-old student who is going to apply Food Science major for bachelor degree, and this video is a blessing. In my country, people aren't aware of what is meant by Food Science, so even my friends and relatives are making me vague and indecisive about the major by telling me inaccurate consequences. I felt discouraged a lot. But now, after seeing you, I have firmly decided to major in Food Science no matter what people say. You are awesome! Love from Myanmar💕

[@Imaslife]

Awww, I really love hearing stories like this. I'm so glad my videos have helped confirm your decision. You got this!

[@Ella_shin7]

@@Imaslife Thank you so much indeed, my queen💓 Wish you all the best

[@therealduelist8397]

Hi fellow food science major here and I know what you mean when people don't truly understand what food Science is and it can suck cus it's mainly just confusing food science with other food related professions/fields but in the end as food scientists we will help the world more then those who doubt us can know ❤

I’m planning to take a Bs in Nutrition with Wellness, but at the same time I’m also interested in Food Science. All I’m worried about it the weight of the courses I need to take for Food Science since it seems a lot heavier and tougher. Though, I am actually more interested in how food affects the body compared to the chemistry behind food. Kinda stuck in a dilemma 😂 But I still have time to decide. Anyway, thank you so much for the video! 💕

[@s0neskim]

I used to study Food & Nutrition when im doing my GCSE and Food Studies in A levels. Now im planning to continue my path and take a BA degree in Food Science and Technology. wish me luck!! great explanations too!

I’m currently doing my masters in food science . Did my Bsc in Nutrition and Dietetics and I want to merge the two! I don’t have any experience in food science per say however I am definitely looking forward to those opportunities! Great video and helpful information!

[@Imaslife]

This is so great to hear! Best of luck in your studies

[@Hannah-hz9vt]

Im still a kid but my dream job is food scientist and this really helped me just learn about it! Thank you so much.

[@Imaslife]

Hi Hannah, I'm glad this video helped you. Keep working towards achieving your dream!

[@BBoakyewaa]

Thank you for this video. I’m having my Postgrad in food science, I have a BSc in biochemistry and everything you said in this video is right on point😀 Also your skin🔥🔥🔥 Can’t wait for the vlogs.

[@ima1188]

You’re welcome ❤️ I’m glad you’re getting your postgrad education in food science! Thank youuu 🤍

[@wickedbuttercup]

I'm planning on getting a bachelor's in biochemistry then master's in Food science. Do you think biochemistry prepared you for food science?

[@NelaEllaAYE]

I’m interested in this and Food Safety. Have my MPH, I want to combine the two. Thank you for the advice.

[@Imaslife]

Glad it was helpful!

[@shraddhasingh903]

I just graduated in Human Nutrition and I’m planning to get my masters in food science! still looking up universities..

[@Imaslife]

Congratulations! There are so many Universities that offer a great FS Master's program. good luck! :)

[@chelle9586]

Thank youu

[@ishantharusha2133]

Thank you so much

[@Imaslife]

You're most welcome!

[@daciadennie]

Hi, I would like to become a food scientist and or a food engineer, but my country doesn't do those course in there university or college. I would like some advice should I study science at the college level then go on studying food science and also do you need physics.

[@maykhaing9731]

Hey I would like to know that Is universities have food processing or food technology as main major? Or they are under food Science major?

[@ayleigh42]

Hi there. Thank you for your video! Do you happen to have any advice for adult learners who are not fresh out of High School? Thank you!

[@Imaslife]

Hi Ayla! This is a great question. I plan to do a detailed video about this, because many people ask. It really depends on your background. You can take training courses online to gain knowledge in the subject first. Getting a 4 year degree, will really depend on your career goals. There are Food Science jobs in the industry where you won't need a 4 year degree and that way you can get the experience sooner. You can then also look into a CFS (Certified Food Scientist) credential where you apply & take an exam to then be qualified in the subject. You will need work experience though! www.ift.org/career-development/certification/get-your-cfs

[@kamaia3106]

Do jobs care if you attend a university that doesn’t have an IFT approved Food Science course?

[@faithtarus8585]

Hello I have a Bsc in biomedical science and I want to do masters in Food science and technology in Australia..how is that?

[@flyingthundergod3999]

I’m going to do nutrition science degree majoring in food innovation at deakin, I’m not sure if I could go into the food industry because my degree is nutrition.

[@Daniyoyo]

Nutrition is more medical science , Food science is more agricultural

[@nonatifa2543]

What about food engineering??

[@dhanajaanu2517]

Hii beautiful Firstly,I like ur Idea of sharing your experience and knowledge to the people, It helps a lot of people to choose their career. And,I Wanted to know about the job opportunities in US and the salary percentage???

[@udokwucynthia8135]

I want to get my masters in economics or in any medical related course I have BSC in food science and technology but I want to go for another course not related to food is that possible?

[@Imaslife]

That is definitely possible. You may need a few extra prerequisites to pursue those masters courses.

[@abolajiomiyale6045]

Great job sis....I have Bsc in Food Science and Technology frm a Nigeria university. How do I further in my career here in USA?

[@Imaslife]

Thank you sis, Nigeria represent! 🇳🇬 As for furthering your career in the US, you will usually need work sponsorship or education from the states.

[@rachana_n]

[@eostre812]

Hi! I stumble on your channel while looking for ideas to write an essay about what would I do 5 years later after I get my master degree in food science. Its my first semester, its kind of hard to adjust because my bachelor degree was majoring in chemistry but i think i can keep up. I like your videos, im subscribing and i hope you can make more content like this.

[@galibamobassirabornona4092]

Is food chemist and food technologist the same ?

[@Imaslife]

not the exact same, but similar in many ways.

[@phillytuswa7533]

Thanks for the video😊& if I may ask where did you study?

[@Imaslife]

you're welcome! I studied at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign :)

[@kimberlygonzalez5675]

What about coming from a community collage

[@Imaslife]

My advice is the same! Community college or High School. You still have to go through a similar application process :)

[@Daniyoyo]

Black heaven … but on to the comment … Food Science will also explode given the coming food shortages, droughts , destruction of farmland , and shortage of fertilizers
