It's probably not the most popular career choice for young people, but there's a huge shortage of trained horticulturalists around the world today.
If you can earn a degree in horticulture you'll have companies beating down your door to hire you and the shortage isn't limited to just the US. It's a global problem when the global population just keeps growing by leaps and bounds .. Part of the problem is that horticulture just doesn't pay nearly as good as it should . Another problem is how the public views such professions, as being staffed mostly by cheap immigrant labor and we generally don't make the distinction between trained horticulturalists and the people picking crops who are usually low paid immigrants.
This will very likely lead to massive food shortages around the world and with it very high prices for food grown in the ground..
