Question: I’m interested in a career that would combine my gardening/growing food and the environment. Can you suggest a direction for me?
Answer:

A career in agriculture would be a great choice. Believe me, if you Googled "careers in agriculture" you'd get an overload of websites most of them trying to sell you something but here's a really good on that gives you great descriptions of varying jobs in the field provided by university faculty. It includes what subjects you should like, or take to do well in the field. Here is the link: Careers In Agriculture (www.florida-agriculture.com)

You may want to explore a career with “Whole Foods” Market which incorporates all the areas you refer to. You would learn every aspect of the food retail business. And “Whole Foods” has an active interest in organically grown products of all kinds. They are growing in this “down” economy!
