[@areebahmed7354]

[@sukritish5672]

hey! Great vlogs ;) but I want to ask how much you are paid?

[@aditheroyal3927]

Is being a food scientist a really booming job? Like I'm looking into which I want to do become a registered dietician or something else in nutrition but I want to know if you can find a job easily like how in some jobs it's super competitive and hard to get a job.

[@annazhou4672]

Hey, I love the video! Great Job, beneficial. I wondered if you could help me out because I have a career project (I am in grade 12 biology rn), and we choose Food Scientists! And one of the questions is "What are the daily tasks" and "what hour would a person be working daily? Would you mind helping me by telling me what that daily schedule is at work?

[@NO-nf6nf]

How many hours a day do you work? Or what time throughout the day do you work? Thanks :)

[@dwhitenoise6778]

I am currently studying BS Food Technology. I just find this video so relevant to my field.😊
