CAREERS IN AGRICULTURE
available after transferring from
KILGORE COLLEGE AGRICULTURE
Contained herein is a partial, but representative
list of over 100 careers available through Agriculture, perhaps the world's most dynamic and diversified industry. All of these can be achieved after transferring from two years in the Kilgore College
Agriculture Program. Listed to the right of each career opportunity are senior college majors which will help the student
achieve that career -- depending, of course, on attitude, determination, cooperative spirit, willingness to take specified
risks, and grade point average (GPA). Some careers, obviously, require advanced degrees and testing. But these, and many more, can be attained through Kilgore College Agriculture.
