Why Do I Want To Become A Career?

Trying to figure out what would be the best option for me to do once I graduate high school is one of the hardest things to do. There are many of careers that interest me, I have chosen two that would benefit me in the best way. One career that I explored is a financial manager. I chose this career because I have an interest in the accounting side of math and would enjoy working with numbers and also working with farmers and families trying to expand their operations. The second career that I had the most interest in was a crop farmer. I chose this career because I have grown up living and working on the farm and I want to do more. Out of the two careers I have experienced, a crop farmer is the better fit for me. The first career that I explored
Being a financial manager will give me another option to either do in the winter or if the farming doesn’t work out. A financial manager has to work with math skills almost everyday and has to be able to work with many different types of computer applications.

Those two things are aspects that makes this particular career stick out to me even more. Very little schooling is needed to be a good farmer, that’s one thing that makes this occupation one that I enjoy. Many licenses are required to be able to handle many different types of fertilizers and to be able to operate a semi. To handle fertilizers and pesticides the state requires a specific test to be taken. It is not required to have a CDL if the farmer is only driving for farm purposes. Many farmers have a CDL so they are able to drive for other reasons besides farming. I am interested in driving during the offseason so pursuing my CDL would not be a big problem for me. According to BLS, the average farmer makes $66,360 per year (“Farmers, Ranchers and other Agricultural Managers”). This number is not the same for every farmer. The
