What are the opportunities of taking agriculture courses?

Question

I am planning to take up agriculture specifically hulticulture, what are the job opportunities for me?

Answer 1

Well, one opportunity is starting your own business. With a horticulture degree, you'd have the knowledge to open a nursery, grow organic vegetables, plant an orchard, etc. Some successful farm businesses offer internships and "apprentice" positions, so there are opportunities to learn from the ground up too.

Backyard Market Gardening by Lee Foreman covers the basics of how to start your own organic veggie operation.

Answer 2

Well, you'll never get rich but you'll have good mental health and you'll be fine as long as your body holds out then you better have a plan because you will be a phsical wreak at an early age. Try to stay in research and get tenure at a University. I got a degree, beat myself up and with one tour to Iraq 3 years ago I'm now a cripple that the Gov wants nothing ($$) to do with.

Answer 3

You can learn valuable things for life in AG. You can work in farm industries and make a reasonable amount of money.

Answer 4

I don't know where you are or how old you are, but you can look this up at the school at which you plan to attend or talk to the instructors about this.  The opportunities are there, but exactly which are most diverse where you live is another matter.

Answer 5

good jobs
