Here are the things I can study.

>Dream Job: Medical Marijuana Dispensary grower.
Not user?

>>1167
not user? What do you mean?

>>1169
he means do you smoke pot

Do some in depth research on super-cropping and strain creation. Look through the course offerings and see which track would give you the most parallels between the courses and the type of growing you'd be doing as a cannabis farmer.
Come on, do your own legwork here. You won't be doing yourself any favors by farming out important decision making concerning your education to anon.

That said, Plant Breeding & Genetics, Plant Biotechnology, and Floriculture & Nursery Production look like your best bets. I mean, just look at mr dreadlocks in the Breeding & Genetics, you think he's not hoping to go into super-cropping?

Take the Biotech, Genetics, and Nursery Production, but I'd say also take Restoring Landscapes. The first 3 will help you toward your dream job, the last one will give you some practical landscaping skills so that you can make a decent living as a landscaper if you can't get into growin dat dank right away.

Well OP, have you considered moving to Colorado?

why not recreational dispensary. you probably have to go to college or something to sell it as a doctor

What's your back-up plan for when you discover that you're not going to get your "dream job"? Which you're probably not. Dispensaries aren't exactly looking for new suppliers all the time and the ones they find, they build relationships and trust with.

So, what are your alternate plans in life?

He can always just grow clandestine marijuana and sell it to street dealers. Or maybe it will become legal enough where he can grow and sell legitimately, like a microbrewery.

What's to keep OP from moving to Colorado or somewhere else that it's legal to sell, and just becoming another legal grower/dealer? I doubt the market's going to get too saturated too fast. OP doesn't necessarily need a college education to do so, but it can't hurt and will give him the option of falling back on something like forestry, agricultural research, landscaping, decorative plants green house, etc.
OP should probably take some small business management classes.

I am considering moving, but it is gonna take a ton of money to actually start something like that. Also, all the legal stuff that has to go into getting permits and occupying a building... I don't really know how much money I am going to need to actually open up a shop.

>>1175
Thanks, but I can only focus on one emphasis. I kind of want the one emphasis that will get me a job that isn't just working at a dispensary and will allow me to make some money so that I can have money to start up my dispensary. I don't live in a med state.

>>1183
well, pretty much just use this degree to get a good job... I am kind of looking at a degree program that will give me money and also the experience that I will need to actually work at a dispensary. I also might be doing a bit of clandestine cultivation in the meantime. Also, I think that my state will eventually be a med state.
