In any career, you have to go where the money is.
What good does your college degree do if you waste it by working at a Starbucks? I had a degree in botany and horticulture, with a speciality on lab-grown plants and herbs.
There were no good jobs for me in my small hometown, so I had to think bigger. I put in applications with medical cannabis dispensaries all over the country, and was surprised to get an interview in Las Vegas. At the time I didn’t know how huge the cannabis market in Las Vegas was. I flew out for a job interview, and within 24 hours I had fallen in love with the Sin City of Las Vegas, Nevada. It was like a match made in heaven, because I loved all the glitz and glamor of Sin City, and they loved my cannabis skills. For as much attention gets paid to the Las Vegas casinos and show halls, not enough is said about their many cannabis dispensaries. Marijuana is a billion dollar industry in Las Vegas and the surrounding areas! Do you think that when folks escape to Las Vegas they only indulge in gambling and booze? No, they indulge in legal cannabis just as much, if not moreso. I work for one of the major chains of cannabis dispensaries in Las Vegas as a product developer. I am helping to create the best new strains of cannabis Las Vegas has ever seen. It’s a great job, and I think I have found the best town in America.
