Career Change

[Special Kdog]

Looking to get out of finance and into the cannabis industry with a legit w-2 job. I'm from a non-friendly state so i'll be looking to move preferably to Portland or Colorado. Any recommendations on where to start looking... also pay needs to be 45k+ because i have epilepsy and the other meds are expensive as f*ck, but they keep me healthy along with a daily dose of some quality herb. btw I have a degree in finance. Thanks for any help

Neither weed nor epilepsy drugs are that exspensive!

Med patients bitch on like weed owes you a living. My state pays for all meds, being a citizen qualifies you!

45k eh? In Colorado to work in weed you have to be badged.
Last I knew a pro extractor job would start at 15 an hour. To make 45k at that rate would require some overtime, which you more than likely wouldn't get.
Not sure why everyone thinks there's money working in weed .
Plus once in the field of weed that pretty much sticks with your work history/resume and some places in another field may frown on that.

you have to have 1 hell of a back ground to start growing for a profession . mabe if you worked at a green house or even a homedepot with the plants you would have a chance . who the fuck will hire a finance manager . go to a car dealer make 50 k there

45k in portland will not even pay the rent the way things are going there
