I would think that MMCs would pay less, but might also be willing to accept candidates with no formal education, so long as they have a proven history of growing good dope. I have no idea what you deserve, but if I were you I would ask for $15 an hour at least.
yeah but thats just a typical college job thats not quite related to our industry just because of its nature. id wager that most master g's in this field dont have botanical/horticultural, and biology degrees. rather they have culminated a history of trial and error spanning 30+ years. im just about there, and still much to learn for me. when ive nothing left to learn i fear i will lose all interest.

copobo-without good growing practices there arent good growers. clearly there is too much push for profit so growers are being forced to go against their will on some level to get product in shelves at their idea of a time frame. thats a bad practice however people seem disorientated enough to settle for low quality meds err uuhhmmm high quality ...i meant say.
