I've always felt that one had to study for something he is really interested in, and I am surprised that not many young people would want to study agriculture, to think that many of today's youth espouse concepts like saving the environment or saving the world or helping the poor - and what best way to do those by, well, studying what to plant and where and yes, feed the world in the most efficient way! Glamorous it is not! It will not make one famous or controversial. However, I think it can make one rich, very rich, since we are primarily an agricultural nation. And, yeah, people eat! We have to eat, or we die. So the market is in a way, bottomless and never-ending in its need!
So if you're going into college and thinking of a course to take, and you love plants and animals and is curious how they grow, why not take Agriculture. The University of the Philippines in Los Banos is a very competent school. Also, there are so few of you studying this course, so the demand for your future job will surely be big - and that romantic notion of a gentleman (or lady) farmer would not be impossible!
