What types of careers can I get with a Agricultural Education Degree?

Teaching positions have been readily available for nearly 40 years.  Future trends will likely continue to be strong as a high percentage of current teachers are nearing retirement. 

  • High School, Junior High, Middle School Agriculture Teachers
  • Adult Farm Management Teacher

 

Alternative career options for Agricultural Education majors are a reason that many current Agriculture teachers leave the field and create new teaching openings for you. These options are also available for you if you choose not to teach.

  • Extension Educator
  • International Projects
  • Agricultural Lending & Finance
  • Agricultural Sales
  • Training & Development
  • Farming/Ranching
  • Livestock or Agronomic Consulting
  • Livestock Nutrition

 

An Agricultural Education degree will open many career doors for you.  Any agricultural career that involves interacting with people makes an Agricultural Education degree program a logical choice.  Are you that person?   If you think you might be, take the following steps:

  • Talk to an agricultural education teacher
  • Schedule a day to job shadow that teacher
  • Examine career clusters by visiting the Agricultural Career Center at www.ffa.org
