[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 436596, member: 2095"] It depends on what you want to do and your circumstances. IF you inherited a thousand acre ranch which you grew up on and know the business in intimate detail, you could use an accounting course, ai school, maybe diesal mechanic's class (my area of greatest weakness), high school 4H or FFA, and some continuing education classes like your state's "Master Cattleman' curriculum, 'Angus Bootcamp', 'Hereford Young Guns' etc just to get you up to speed with what the world outside your ranch is doing. You would gain from an Animal Science degree; but not THAT much. Now if you did not have your future handed to you on that silver platter and you want to work your way up in this business; then the degree is essential to seperate yourself from the pack of everybody else who wants the jobs and promotions you want. The market for GOOD jobs is so competitive that in a lot of cases you have to have a degree just to be in the file of people that gets looked at. [/QUOTE]
