education, earning an advanced degree in agronomy, crop science, or soil science is a commitment, and you may even argue it’s a lifestyle. A graduate degree takes passion, initiative, discipline, and focus. When considering pursing a higher degree, whether after your undergraduate or completion of a master’s degree, there are many paths a person can choose that will best prepare them for this advanced education. Some students may find it best to go directly into an advanced degree after their bachelor’s, but others may find it best to prepare for an advanced degree by first gaining work experience. I chose the latter, and because of the experiences I gained, I personally was better prepared to take on the challenges of an advanced degree as a stronger, better-rounded scientist.
