Undergraduates and Graduates of Agriculture Related Courses must Know why Agricultural Profession Pays

Why Agriculture Profession Pays

During my undergraduate days, I found a lot of my school mates who studied agriculture related courses feel that they just have to get into school.
Some of them said they never wanted to study Agriculture but they have to be graduates anyway.

What is the Trend Today.

African is still either under developed or developing to the rest of the western world. The three Main Areas that western countries and organisation seek to help African in are, Education, Health and Agriculture.

For the past years, big organisations like WHO, IITA, World Bank, UN, FIAN, Mercy Corps, CARE, One Acre Fund, have funded projects that are all agriculture related.

There has been constant need for professionals in Agricultural Extension, Agricultural Economics, Agricultural Technology, Land Management, Crop protection, Environmental management, Project Management ( Agriculture Experience), Program Officer ( Agriculture Experience) etc.

I spoke with a friends who wants to completely leave his Second Class upper B.Sc degree in Agriculture for an M.Sc in International Business,

I wondered if these four years in the university are going to be in vain.

Can you see, the World's economy is shifting in trend and agriculture is taking the lead.

Rate of crisis is on the rise. It gives rise to hunger thus, the need for food security.
