Management and Business Occupations
You can expect approximately 24,000 annual openings compared to about
20,200 graduates with expertise in these areas. In fact, of all projected
jobs for college graduates in the food, agricultural, and natural
resources system, you'll find just under half (46 percent) in management
and business occupations.
Expect strong employment opportunities for:
| |
• |
technical sales representatives |
 |
| |
• |
food brokers |
| |
• |
accountants and financial managers |

forest products salespersons |

Sales Representative |
If you take a job in one of these areas, you will work in a sales,
supervisory, or managerial position for an organization that adds
value to agricultural and forest commodities.
You'll find opportunities for graduates in service professions including
golf course superintendents, business consultants, insurance representatives,
and human resources consultants. However, expect declining employment
opportunities for sales and business representatives who provide production
inputs to farmers and ranchers. As businesses continue to merge, you'll
find fewer merchandisers of grains and food animals.
Colleges offering degrees in agriculture and natural resources are
expected to produce 60 percent of the graduates who will compete for
these positions. We project that 40 percent of the qualified graduates
will have degrees in allied fields such as marketing, business management,
economics, advertising, accounting, and retailing.
