[QUOTE="Strangelybrown, post: 7317555, member: 154575"] Hello, I am in my mid 20s and am currently in the final year of a Bsc Psychology degree. My initial aim was to use my degree to work towards a career related to psychology or healthcare. However, I have always had an interest in the countryside and rural life, with a yearning to spend my days outdoors in all weathers, so I am considering pursuing a career in farming (ideally livestock). I do not have a family background in farming nor do I have any relevant work experience, so I appreciate I would have to start from the bottom rung of the ladder (n.b I am unable to work on a voluntary basis or relocate due to family commitments). With this in mind, is there anyone that can offer me advice on the potential routes I could take to begin a career in farming? p.s. I am aware the RAU offers a Graduate Certificate in Agriculture which, according to their website, can lead to a career in farm management, but I am unsure of how realistic it would be for me to find a position considering my lack of farming experience. Thank you for your time. [/QUOTE]
