Oh man, this may just be my extreme ignorance on some of the other jobs, but like I was saying above you absolutely DO NOT NEED a MA in farming to be a farmer. If your dream is to work in the ag business in a blue collar capacity, I would suggest looking for apprenticeships. Or just getting an in on a farm.

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.
