Very easily get a job at the local wine shops. Currently being considered to manage the wine/liquor section at costco. Applying to a couple other places tomorrow. This certification leads to the WSET Diploma which is the prereq for the Master of Wine test. Can't say for certain if I'll go for the master eventually(it's like 10 years of experience and study) but getting that opens up a shit ton of very lucrative jobs in the wine business.

Good luck man. I heard Costco pays its employees very well, along with very healthy profits. I'd consider it a top firm to work for.

congratulations. i was wondering what was up with that. haven't seen you post in a while. glad you're doing well, but didn't expect any less from you. i remember when you were graduating high school and going into college and when you started talking about getting your wine certificate and everyone made fun of you and gave you a hard time.
any idea what specific branch of business you plan on going into?

Likely looking at a retail shop or something similar. If I go for the Master of Wine, there's a lot more possible like being the blender or consultant for vinyards or wine director nearly anywhere I'd like. A Master carries a fuck ton of respect and it would be awesome to go for one day.
