[QUOTE="Dega Moo, post: 1058489, member: 19930"] Something originally triggered your desire to take an Animal Science curriculum - what was that? There had to be some kind of vision there .. you saw yourself doing something specifically day to day and you wanted that life and you need that diploma. You must have felt passion for something and it led you to your studies. If your passion has waned or mutated then find out where it went , where did it go - where is it today? Chase your passion and you won't find a job but an avocation. While an internship at a feedlot is certainly worthwhile and noteworthy, it pales in value compared to your degree. Don't let anyone tell you your education is not worthwhile, even if it doesn't lead directly to a job in your study area. And ignore advice that your college diploma is no better than yesterdays' high school diploma. That isn't the case at all. Your college will have career days, on campus interviews specifically in your study area. Check out the companies visiting end of year and the jobs they are trying to fill. Talk to your advisers at school and they can help you find those positions. I think it was Chippie who posted a link with a compendium of jobs your degree helps qualify you to seek and fill. That's a bit like a Christmas catalog for someone searching for the perfect career. Oh and don't think jobs, think career. Your first few jobs are steps along the way to a career. [/QUOTE]
