Dr. Hurley on the Interdisciplinary Nature of the Packaging Industry: Packaging World
Our Founder and a Professor of Packaging Science at Clemson University, Dr. Andrew Hurley, recently guest wrote for Packaging World in a piece called "Your Next Packaging Hire Could be a Liberal Arts Major"
Dr. Hurley stated:
"All hands went up. Each student wanted to share what they were passionate about and find a way to connect it to a career—pharma, retail design, dentistry, engineering, product design, analytics and testing, and many more. I listened to each student carefully and then attempted to demonstrate how I firmly believe packaging is an important skill set to learn that not only complements what they want to do, but also . . .
Enables students to get a seat in an interview for their "dream job"
Complements just about any skill, industry, or lifestyle
Provides a sustainable means of living
Allows for creative expression
Empowers flexibility to live and work just about anywhere"
"Packaging is more than just an industry; it is a requirement for anyone and every company that distributes physical ideas. I founded PackagingSchool.com for this very reason: There is too much demand and too little supply of packaging knowledge."
