(Anonymous) 2012-09-07 12:23 am (UTC)(link)Everyone would ask me: "What job are you going to do?"
What the fuck? No. I don't have a damn clue, I'm only 18 and still in school!
Now I'm at uni and I still don't know, but at least I know the general field I want to go into and I'm happy with the degree I'm doing.
But no, I shouldn't be expected to know what's going to happen in 10 years time and have an answer ready.

(Anonymous) 2012-09-07 12:31 am (UTC)(link)I wish I'd had a better idea of what I wanted to do before I went to college - and knowing what I know how I probably wouldn't have gone UNTIL I figured it out. That probably would have saved me from being thousands of dollars in debt.

(Anonymous) 2012-09-07 01:10 am (UTC)(link)I guess I'm still in the general field section. Granted I'm 25 with a Ba already behind me, but I still get confused when I have to know or have an answer. I have gotten more specific with what kind of job I want (it used to be science, now it's domestic farming animal science) - but when it comes to specific job titles I draw a blank. It's like people expect me to just KNOW if I want to be a dairy manager or an egg grader or something and I'm, I'm okay with all of those. I don't have a favourite. I just want to do the courses, get the background and then do a job.
I DO know that I don't want to do research. I don't have the patience for refining the results and writing the reports.

Like I mean you could absolutely do so, but it's not stuff you absolutely need a classroom to learn. It's not like learning to become a diplomat or something.
I realize that this may seem strange to people unattached to the area, like saying you don't need to learn a foreign language in a classroom, just go to the country, but I really am serious. Most of these jobs are blue collar on-site types of jobs that you shouldn't have much problems trying to get into or starting yourself.
Granted, there is a money component to starting any operation yourself, but that shouldn't be any more of an issue than funding grad school.
Story: while renting a separate structure for our youngstock, we had a neighbor from West Virginia. Her mother, a very rural, poor woman, owned a small chicken operation that actually supported her. As far as I know, she didn't even graduate high school.
While getting a MA might seem to be the safest, most accessible way for people not already familiar with the field, I would seriously encourage you to look for some jobs you can do, education or no. Unless you're set on doing something in like agribusiness or something that demands a specialized education.
