Occupation help

[ngmike92]

Hi,

I'm majoring in either agriculture or food nutrition and health, which occupation in the forces suit my field of study the most.


Note: food nutrition and health does not equal dietetics I won't be a certified dietician.

NCM: cook

Offr: LogO... with career focus in Foods. You might not end up there though as LogOs tend to be heavy on the supply and finance side.

Med Techs are not officers.

Why did you ask what trade what be suitable if you already knew which one interests you ?

 

[ngmike92]

Sorry but, officer for any related health field.

The CF recruiting website lists the following officer occupations in health-related fields :

Bioscience Officer
 
Dental Officer
 
Health Care Administration Officer
 
Medical Officer
 
Nursing Officer
 
Pharmacy Officer
 
Physiotherapy Officer
 
Social Work Officer

Agriculture and such - I'd go with BioScience.

Now that we have a little more to go on, I'd say Health Care Administration. There's little call for agriculture or food nutrition in the BioScience Officer MOC. They tend to be kinesiologists, medical engineers, and pure scientists involved in human systems and equipment evaluations.

Haha thanks everyone looks like the military is in little need of farmers. Time to switch majors to something the military needs possibly food science, dietetics, microbiology, and Immunology. If the forces aren't fond of those majors too I don't know what to do. =(

I know engineering is the most useful however, calculus isn't my speciality. I've always wanted to join since I was young but, my parents keep telling me to finish my education first.

Apply for the ROTP and do both at the same time, if you want to be an officer.

Apply for the ROTP and do both at the same time, if you want to be an officer.

However, this leads back to his original question.  You can't get into ROTP unless you agree to pursue a degree that is acceptable to the occupation you are headed towards.  Having said that, it's worth noting that for some occupations (e.g. MARS, Pilot, combat arms), any degree will do.
