How's it going? Not sure if this is the right forum to ask, but I have a question for anyone who currently works in the industry.
I'm currently deployed in Afghanistan and after this deployment I'll have less than a year left in my contract. The Army's given me and my wife some great opportunities(she goes to school full time, we have a fairly large amount of money saved), but my body is hurting bad(28 years old in the infantry), and the time away from each other has it's negative effects. So I'm getting out and pursuing my dream of working in a brewery. I have a very basic understanding of homebrewing, but I'm passionate about learning more.
My question is: Should I apply for a low end job at a brewery and work my way up(willing to just clean)? Use my Post 9/11 Bill and finally get a degree so I'd look like a better applicant, and if so what field or degree do brewery's typically look for? Or work at a brewery and go to school full time?
Side note, we're purchasing a home in Colorado Springs so there's brewery's just about everywhere.
Cheers!
