Unfortunately, Nebraska’s laws include nothing to help patients who need medical marijuana receive it. This also means that it is almost impossible to get a job in the marijuana industry while living in Nebraska, because cannabis colleges are scarce.
There are online certification programs, though, which can give you the education you need to score a job in the cannabis industry. Learn Sativa University is one such cannabis college. Even though marijuana remains completely illegal in Nebraska, you can learn all the skills you need to grow, be a budtender or trimmer, or start your own business through the online courses.
In addition, should you choose to move to a legalized state (or simply wait for the inevitable legalization in Nebraska), dispensaries will want to have assurance that you’re educated enough to work for them. Being able to talk to customers about particular medical properties of cannabis and how best to access them is an essential part of working in a dispensary.
The industry is rapidly growing and people are flocking to dispensaries to begin their medical marijuana careers. Nowhere in the industry are people making minimum wage; pay tends to be high even for budtenders and trimmers. More skilled jobs like growing and extracting pay upwards of $50,000 dollars.
To get one of these jobs, the first step will be getting your cannabis certificate. Sign up at Learn Sativa University’s online certification course to get your marijuana career started. LSU offers:
