Agriculture as a Career

Agriculture will look different for everyone in this career path and is guaranteed to change each year in one way or another. Technology, the way of production, and forms of education are always changing and will continue to change. Some individuals in the agriculture field will tell you as soon as they figure out how to do something; either the parts or tools are changed. I find this aspect of the agricultural field challenging and interesting to see the changes. This is one aspect that hooked my interest and partly influenced me to find a career in this pathway. I have found my place in the agriculture field through different experiences and opportunities. One of my Ag Teachers always shared the quote from Confucius, “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” I have found a place where I can share my passion of helping others and love for agriculture with being an Agricultural Educator and FFA Advisor. The opportunities I have taken advantage of in my college career have challenged me to think about my future goals. When I entered college, I was determined to teach …show more content…

The path I will take is to be an Agricultural Educator and FFA Advisor. I will be able to take what I have learned and share it with the next generation of agriculturists. They will be the ones filling the positions of the individuals retiring from the agriculture industry and new positions that have not yet been created. These students should be given the opportunity to discover new things in agriculture, see different parts of the agriculture industry through field trips, make connections with others, and ask many questions.

    As I reflect on my college life, I wonder about the choices I have made that have led me to where I am today and that will guide me into shaping who I long to become. The things I have had to sacrifice, the support and experiences I have had with family, friends, strangers and work colleagues. I don’t know what I will be doing three months or thirty years from now but I do know that I want to have new experiences. When I graduated from high school, I knew I didn’t want to be that person that moved back to the same town and stayed there for the rest of my life. I even contemplate leaving the United States in my adult life. Who really knows, maybe those cards are still in the deck. For now, I know my immediate goals include focusing on completing my college education the best I can, and moving away from my comfort zone, broadening my horizons and taken risks.

FFA stands for Future Farmers of America, but is most definitely not restricted to “farmers” only. FFA offers many opportunities for any and all members enrolled in a vocational agriculture course to be involved and further their knowledge of various areas even beyond the field of agriculture (Bender and Taylor 1). “FFA at 50 in Missouri” states the FFA motto that has been the foundation of the FFA mentality many years, “Learning to do, Doing to learn, Earning to live, Living to serve” (FFA at 50 in Missouri 8).

The personality tests I have taken confirmed to me that I have found a career path that I truly enjoy and that I know I will be able to succeed in. After struggling the first time I attended college, in major I was not suited for, I failed. Now that I have taken on a major that I deeply care about, the work load does not seem as overwhelming.
