Dr. Riley Messman PhD: Starting your career in animal science offers a wide array of opportunities, from hands-on production roles to working in larger industry settings. It's crucial to assess your interests and strengths. Do you enjoy daily farm activities with animals? Are you inclined towards social media, photography, or marketing? Are you fascinated by new technologies or enjoy working with people? Answering these questions can guide you towards a fulfilling career path. Another advantage of animal science careers is the potential for entrepreneurship, whether in consulting, production, or starting your own venture. My advice is to find your strengths and pursue those within the field of animal science, embrace new experiences, and maintain professionalism. Being personable, productive, and profitable will pave the way for success in this dynamic field.
