<p>Hello I'm an new member to the forum. I am a high school junior. Science had always been of interest to me and I love working hands on with animals and plants. I could see myself being a veterinarian but I love working with plants and could see myself in that sector. I live caring for animals just as much as growing my own food and working in the dirt.
My question is- what should my major be? I don't feel I should claim animal science over plant science at this point as I'm unsure. Would a major in biology be a good option? Agriculture?
Also does anyone have any advice as to which career options have the greatest prospects?</p>
<p>For vet school you can major in anything you like just as long as you cover the prerequiste coursework. Most people opt for biochemistry, chemistry, or biology as it contains most if not all the coursework The main problem is of you don’t get into a professional program you are left with a useless degree.</p>
<p>Agricultural science is another possibility.</p>
<p>I would recommend staying broad for your undergraduate degree. Don’t major in something like animal science, botany, etc. until grad school; chemistry or biology will be just as sufficient and also leave open the possibility of finding other employment if necessary.</p>
<p>slim possibility with biology and chemistry. If you get a science degree you are pretty much committed to either going to professional school or getting a grad degree in somethintg other than science for a decent career.</p>
