<p>Would someone who graduated from Cornell with a viticulture and enology major, still be hired on the west coast? (eg. california/oregon?)</p>
<p>I don’t see why they wouldn’t.</p>
<p>I don’t think California has a prejudice against “non-California” people.</p>
<p>Many places might for some reason prefer someone from a UC, but a degree from Cornell is going to open a lot of doors up anywhere.</p>
<p>Well, I’m actually from California. It’s just that the viticulture program here kind of focuses on cold weather climates.</p>
<p>You might want to contact some area wine makers regarding their hiring preferences. Most people are happy to answer high schoolers’ questions regarding a possible career. Also, do Davis and Sonoma State really only focus on cold weather climates? I know nothing about the field, but it just seems, odd given their location.</p>
<p>No, Cornell focuses on cold climates. I currently go to Cornell. Okay, thank you! I will definitely do that.</p>
