feeding the world
Without the hard work of farmers, the world would go hungry. On farms across the world, farmers grow fruits, nuts, vegetables, and grains, as well as raise cows, chickens, sheep, and other types of livestock. A career as a farmer is an excellent choice for those who like to work hard, don't mind getting dirty, and enjoy the great outdoors. In this book, you'll learn about job duties for farmers, how to enter the field; key skills for success, methods of exploring agriculture careers while in school, and much more. Farmer is just one of nine exciting titles in the Careers with Earning Potential series. Readers will discover seven fascinating careers that typically do not require a bachelor's degree, but provide a good middle-class income. In the other two titles, they will learn how to present themselves professionally in their job application materials and during the employment interview, as well as how to become invaluable in the workplace.
