Answer:
Of all the jobs within the Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources and Energy clusters, I think that the following would be the most interesting for me: seismic technician, food scientist, nursery manager, weatherization manager, and zoologist. Of these career options, I think zoologist, food scientist, and nursery manager are the ones that I would consider pursuing. I would truly enjoy being a nursery manager.
I’ve always considered myself to be someone with a “green thumb.” I enjoy gardening, so I think I would love to make a career out of working in a greenhouse with various plants. I would need to learn about the various plants in the nursery: how to care for them, how to identify when they have a disease or pest, and how to treat problems that arise. As the manager, I would also need to supervise the people working in the nursery.
Some of the skills that will help me find success as a nursery manager are creativity and excellent communication, teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving skills. I would also need to complete on-the-job training and an apprenticeship. I think it would be great to get a job working in a nursery while in high school, so I can start training while I’m still in school. It would give me an opportunity to learn from someone with experience in the field.
Although many nursery-related careers require only a certification or on-the-job training, a manager can benefit from getting a bachelor’s degree in horticulture science. Some of the best programs for horticulture science are through Washington State University, University of Florida, or Cornell University. After completing the program, I would hope to open my own nursery where I could sell plants to homeowners, landscapers, or commercial industries.
