Slide 1

Do now

  • Name one person you know who works with food for a living.
  • What is their job called?

Teacher notes

Five quick answers on the board.

Slide 2

Every job you named is on a card

  • So are five you have never heard of.
  • One of them pays more than a lot of doctors' offices.
  • You can start it in this kitchen.
Slide 3

The food career ladder

  • Dishwasher, prep cook, line cook: no degree. Start from the bottom, climb by showing up and learning.
  • Baker, restaurant manager, caterer: a certificate, an apprenticeship, or a two-year degree.
  • School food service director, health inspector, food scientist, registered dietitian: a four-year degree or more.
  • Pay ranges on the cards are marked [update].

Slide 4

The card sort

  • Pairs. Ten cards. Ten minutes.
  • Sort 1: by education needed. Name one job per group.
  • Sort 2: mostly food, mostly people, or mostly data?

Slide 5

While you sort, ask

  • Which job needs the most school? Which needs none past high school?
  • A health inspector and a line cook both care about the danger zone. How is their day different?
