News Post: Hasbro Job Opportunity - Associate Package Engineer: G.I. Joe And Beyblade
At first, I thought maybe "associate package engineer" was just a euphemism to make the job sound more palatable (i.e. "sanitation engineer" as opposed to "garbage person"). However, after thoroughly researching the topic*, I realize now that "packaging science" is a pretty fascinating field, actually.
BTW, I was curious to see if my own alma mater offered that degree. And the answer is nope. Though Rutgers does, apparently. And Michigan State even has an entire "School of Packaging".
For anyone interested, here's the list of colleges/universities with packaging engineering programs/courses:

I applied for shits and giggles
But seriously, if anyone of us were to get hired it makes me wonder if our love for the GI Joe brand would be welcomed and applied or if it would be shot down by the corporate bigwigs and you are forced to take a different approach.
I'd apply ... but not for an associate position.
For me, it's Head Package Engineer or no, thank you. I don't need someone constantly looking over my shoulder, micromanaging my every packaging move.
Who gives a $#!T on G.I. Joe packaging if you can’t get them on the shelves/pegs.🙄

Either they were let go, quit, or said fuq it we’re starting Boss Fight Studios.
Anyone who gave a damn about G.I. Joe(before Classified) is no longer with Hasbro.
