Getting Ready for my Final Semester

As a senior with graduation approaching, it is time to plant my next steps. There a couple options, working, going to graduate school, or pursuing other interests. In my case, I have spent my fall semester applying for graduate school. Instead of job hunting, I am more interested in pursuing more education, and hopefully obtain a PhD. My dream job would be a research scientist or a professor at a university. I love research and I find teaching to be rewarding. But that is certainly not for everyone!

A majority of students go straight to the workforce, and there are many opportunities upon graduation. Finding the right job and career you wish to pursue is the most important result of your college education. In fact past students I have met that have graduated from Purdue Agronomy are happy with their career choices, so no matter which path is chosen, there are great resources and support in Agronomy!
