horticulture degree

b4ds33d · Jul 12, 2016

is there anyone here with a degree in horticulture or other plant based science? just curious because i'm about to start on one here in a couple weeks. it's just a shame they don't have a degree program specifically for cannabis, at least in my area. i've always been a science nut and looking forward to getting formal training in this field. funny though how the degree and license i have was made null and void by cannabis, and now that's the direction i'm headed. strange how life works sometimes!

What's the "null and void" story? Are you matriculating for a BS? Nice

i have a nursing degree and a random drug screen happened. nursing boards are not fans of THC, and i'm not going to take prescription opiates.

thats fucked.
well your good science knowledge should make botany an enjoyable education, exciting.

I bet their drug policy is related to insurance. They still don't understand how someone can fail a drug test and be perfectly sober.

yeah i'm pretty pumped, i took some college science in high school and knew the krebs cycle like no one's business back then. i would have pursued it, but ended up going into the military and was a combat medic so went that direction when i got out.

ER RN was a better fit then, but so much has changed with medicine that on a daily basis too much of what goes as "it's fine, that's just how we do it" was causing too many ethical conflicts for me. that's why they depend on new grads and old ass nurses with experience that live paycheck to paycheck to shoestring the medical system now. that and hospitals for the most part quit or greatly reduced investing in keeping their nurses educated in continuing education. i used to teach a bunch of certification courses (ACLS/PALS/ENPC/TNCC) and noticed a drastic drop off in enrollment in the last 5 years.

so i started doing travel nursing because ER shortages are pretty common. that made me like the job again for awhile, and taking home 3k/week never hurt anyone lol. it was good while it lasted, and i got some cool toys. now it's just time to learn a profession that i can provide for myself and never have to worry about employment again. being my own boss has always been the goal.

no, their drug policy is based on ignorance. i carried my own insurance. very few things in the medical field are based on proven methods and scientific data. just like mandatory flu vaccinations. even though the immunizations are never fully tested, get it anyways because we said so. i was never down with that mentality even when i was in the Navy.

i've done certificate programs in sustainable agriculture. I'm studying electronics BSEE, almost done. so happy.

i was going to do a diploma program, but it costs the same as the degree. i also want to do some shit with electrical engineering/arduino/raspberry pi for automation. i want to design a system where i can leave the aeroponic setup and go on vacay for a month and be able to control it over the internet and have most of it automated.

did you know that human activities are causing global warming?

thank you for your input.

but were you aware that human activities are leading to higher CO2 levels in the atmosphere, which is causing global warming?

i thought a science nut like you would find that interesting.

C# is a great language. Python is less verbose but performance can be an issue.

when i delved into html/css years ago, i used this outstanding series of books from o'reilly publishing by the name of head first. they were suited perfectly for my learning style and i picked it up incredibly quickly. i saw they have one for python and c# and plan on picking them both up. i'm just fucking with the rasppi/ard now, and i really like the possibilities they present.

i plan to eventually made modules to control and automate as much of the aeroponic system as possible, i'll prolly take some sort of electronic/electrical theory and something for building with electrical components courses so i don't electrocute myself as well.

I finished my associates which covered componentry as well as analog/digital engineering. Also PLC programming. If they wrrent so pricey id say use plc cuz thats pictoral to program and ready to interface with an HMI screen. But it'd seriously only be worth it in a permanent and large production operation.

Associate level EE ed. is really informative and was very hands on. Well worth it.
