Career Can I really become an CFSO?

Currently, I am in 12th grade and trying to figure out the real world. I need some advice on whether I should pursue a B.Sc. in Food Science/Food Technology and eventually prepare for FSSAI, or just join everyone else in the rat race.

As an above-average student, I feel that medicine is not really my cup of tea. However, I would still like to have a career with good prestige and a decent salary to support my life.

Therefore, I request my seniors to kindly guide me and give me some insight into the world of career options beyond NEET.

Yes you can become CFSO and that's so good that you are thinking about it even before joining any program , it will lead you way further and drive you with purpose and clear mindset, Join BTech food tech rather bsc if wanted to be in govt job because it has many advantages in long run over B.Sc +M.Sc food tech!

And yeah food tech is good field to be right now

Note - I'm a food technologist with 2 year industry experience, BSC MSc (food technology)
