Ever wondered if a career in agriculture was for you? Well, according to me...everyone has the opportunity to pursue a career in one of the largest industries on earth (will fall in love with it *wink*). Job positions go unfilled every year due to not having anyone apply for them. I am constantly at awe of how someone can finish college and be without a job. I may be bias because my passion is ag but there is always a job for people in ag. Everybody has got to eat and everybody eats. So, talk about good job security. From a veterinary to agronomist to a feedlot manager to just about anything in between there is a place for you.
Below I have included a link to the top ten highest paying jobs in the industry. I personally found this list interesting and eyeopening to what the agricultural industry can offer you. Click below to browse for yourself:
The next article I have chosen to include, focuses on the prediction of the top 5 ag careers in 2020. Agriculture is an ever changing industry and this list reflects that notion perfectly. The 5 careers named on this list range widely across the entire agricultural industry. Trust me, there is fit for - if you want it.
The final link I have used to illustrate my point, is the Ag Careers website. This is a great resource to find jobs local to you as well as opportunities further away. I encourage you to find job you have never heard of before and look into it. Understand what it takes to do that specific task. You may be surprised and find something that fits for you!
As always, thank you for reading and taking the time to support this blog of mine!
