For some of us, the road to a degree in agriculture is just beginning. For others, myself
\nincluded, we are reaching the point where our degree is in sight but the question remains,
\nwhat will we do with it? Where do we want to work? What do we want to do with our degree?
\nI know I have spent many hours staring at a screen, typing in various jobs with the words
\n\u201cRanch\u201d or \u201cCattle\u201d in the title. If all goes according to plan, most of us will graduate and
\nbegin looking for work with the intent of finding that dream job someday. The only obstacle
\nafter graduation is to actually figure out what we want to do.
\nThe first step in finding a career in agriculture is to narrow down what field you could
\nsee yourself enjoying. Agriculture encompasses an extraordinarily wide array of positions and
\npotential careers. You don\u2019t have to necessarily narrow down a future career but by finding
\nsomething you enjoy; it will allow you to get a foot in the door. After choosing an industry to
\ngo into, do some research on companies that have established themselves by doing what you
\nwant to do. Make a list of these companies and begin researching them.
\nIt may even be beneficial to reach out to some of them, asking if they could give you
\nmore information about what they do. This could answer questions you may have and could
\nlead to employment opportunities in the future. After all, it\u2019s not what you know, it\u2019s who you
\nknow. Another important step that sometimes opens doors is internships. Doing internships for
\ncompanies you are interested in is a great way to learn what you do and don\u2019t like. As well it
\nlets potential employers see your work ethic first hand and could result a job right after
\ngraduation.<\/p>\n

Agriculture is the most unique and diverse industry in the world. From Accounting
\nto Rodeo and everything in between, Agriculture offers so much in the way of employment,
\nall you have to do is get out there and look.<\/p>\n
