What tips would you give a public horticulture major when trying to find a job in the field?
Hello Jacob,
Your inquiry has gone through my weekly mail. It’s completely normal to feel uncertain about your future—most professionals didn’t have it all figured out at your age. Start by exploring what excites you, whether it’s solving problems, helping people, or creating something new. Every small step you take—like researching a role, shadowing someone, or trying a project—builds clarity over time. From your question, I realize that maybe you have finished college and you are in a phase where you are looking for a job. This kind of industry, from my international perspective, is growing, even though I could confess that Gen Z (from the national statistic department in Albania) in my country has not chosen to study this major, hence the number of students is very low. I don't know why - everybody is focused on technology and computer science.
But don't be discouraged - Rejections, mistakes, or changes in direction aren’t failures—they’re feedback. Each challenge teaches you something about yourself and the world of work. The most successful people you admire have faced setbacks, too; what made them stand out was persistence and the ability to learn from each experience. Don't give up on job applications and small projects. I am in same phase for looking for job just like YOU. Hope it helps! Good luck.
