Haha, the site also asks the guy if he enjoyed the taste of beer before he entered the field, he replied with one word... Yes.

I know the employees of Eagle Distributing in Ashland (Budweiser distributor), get one free case a week.

 

What is the salary like?

How much taste-testing does your job involve? I taste beer every day, and try to taste every tank of beer before we bottle it. A tough job!

PHD in chemical engineering, impressive. All that and a case of beer. I wonder if they have a DD at the brewery to take all the brewmaster home after work.

You interested? It is across from my office, all the employees are drivers, but I do not know what they make per hour.

That is very impressive.... That would be even better, your own driver.

I was just curious, not really important. But that is still pretty cool.

As a High School Senior, this is garbage and a waste of time. Like Ram, I don't think I could list 4 people who have said their "Projected field of study" has been close to what they actually want to do. We have spent hours completing these things and I can't seem to understand why.

Shouldn't you be in school, rather than on BGP talking about waisting time in school doing ILP's :sleep:

Actually, I was in school and we were working on them while I was replying to that. :lol: I just had a little extra time to spend because I finished mine early. Lol

The ILP's are state required and do count as part of the state assessment under the non academic index. They are time consuming and I have looked at 100's of students do this process. Most of my students say they are pretty accurate with what their "likes" are. It also allows the students to look at degrees/jobs they want and shows the colleges/universities/technical schools in the state of Kentucky that offer these degrees and how long they will have to go to get it. It also allows them to visit with a person, through a video interview, that has this degree and they talk about the pros and cons of the job. So overall I think it is a good program that, if used correctly and seriously, can help students decide what they want to do in the future.

Great response!:thumb::lol:

 

Back in the 70's when I took one of those test that tell you what your best suited to do with you education, it told me I should be a mechinic. I showed them... I'm a mom!:banana:

The state mandated survey says that my son would be well suited as a "Beer Brewmaster".

 

I guess I'm still not getting it. This is bad?

 

Math and science were my strongest subjects throughout my days in high school and college. Further, I am quite skilled in the art of "home" brewing some tasty beverages. I have actually made a stout that rivals Guinness (at least in my opinion).

 

Therefore, according to my horribly flawed leap in logic, the survey may indeed be accurate.

 

It's time to give in and embrace the madness.

At first, I saw the finding as encouraging a good student to settle for a profession that did not require much, if any, post secondary education. But, after starting this thread and doing a little research, I found that most, if not all, Brewmasters are chemical engineers, and apparently many have PhD's. So, although my son has no interest in being a brewmaster as a sixth grader, I am no longer as bent about the results.

 

A funny story though, I posted this thread the day my son started the ILP, and the results were given. The next day, the guidance counselor at my son's school approached my wife and asked if we altered his ILP, because she did not know that Brewmaster was a profession on the ILP. She was laughing about it, and thought we were messing with her. My wife assured her that we did not alter the ILP.

Chemical engineering can open up MANY avenues to your son. Brewmaster being just one of them. Aptitude in chemisty and math,in my opinion,opens unlimited chances to succeed in this world.

 

And just as an aside with a bit of humor (from a pharmacist's point of view),a bartender friend of mine once told me...a pharmacist is just a bartender with a better inventory. LOL.

The test is there for encouraging students to explore other options.

 

Every kids at some point says, doctor, lawyer, firemen, police etc. etc. etc.

 

Through this program you just educated yourself and your child about how a "brewmaster" is not a drunk, but a highly educated human being doing a very interesting job.
