[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 19660, member: 57"] Good advice from Oregonian. I agree, youre going to need another job first. Not only is it extremely hard for young people starting out from scratch these days, but its even hard if you already have something to start with. I graduated with a BSA Animal Science. if i had to do it over again i would get a degree in something with more and better paying job opportunities, and maybe minor in animal science. I am working on my masters in ag education now, but i havent ruled out real estate yet. i think teaching is a good opportunity as far as being something stable and having good holidays/afternoons off but real estate might be a good thing to get into too especially if you need to buy some land. they arent making any more of it. (renting is probably the way to go in your case, especially if you can find someone old who is tired of or retired from farming/ranching but not ready to sell their land (they can act as mentor also) or a widow who doesnt want to sell. this will help minimize costs for you and buy you some time to save up and impress the owner so hopefully you get first dibs when they do decide to sell it.)
