Jobs directly related to your degree include: Food technologist, Nutritional therapist, Product/process development scientist, Quality manager, Regulatory affairs officer, scientific laboratory technician, and Technical brewer.
Jobs where your degree would be useful include: Chef, Production manager, Purchasing manager, Research scientist (life sciences), and a Toxicologist. Employers value work experience and so if your course does not include an industrial placement try to get some related experience in the holidays.
