things are really like ask some really good questions tonight we're going to hear from Lee also she's the broker and director of the ranch and Recreation Department sorry division prudential montana and racial group glioma well she's a DNA ta t what time hoping to learn more about Oh what did those letters me with at the American Association and Jackie Atkins who's a PhD in I'm born and raised on canons generation and everybody in my family I had to pull here but it worked out well when I was in high school my faithful advisor pushed me towards education and art which was just stuff that I had talent in not necessarily where my interests lie after a couple years in school I got a job as a veterinary assistant which is really where my passion was been more of the science field in the animal industry I was told that in high school that that probably was where I should go with this with my grades but once I was able to switch my major my grades improve because my interest obviously was of taking courses in something that I was interested in long story short I worked for this event while I was going to school I did it as an internship just as Central was mentioning got credit for that while I was going to school and where my focus was I I believe that we've been ahead into veterinary pharmaceutical sales travel around the state used my my influence of networking people I know in all the different communities and and work with vets in that aspect and work in a traveling job but realistically it didn't really work very well for my lifestyle but I couldn't be on road all week long of the week because I live in a ranch my house to take care of anything why wasn't the bet we learned mostly in this community in the Bozeman area a lot of people move here they want acreage they want animals they find that they need help learning how to live this lifestyle and so the bed and I decided to start some consulting business and that sort of tied me into the real estate world where I was used as a consultant to help new land owners implement some grazing practices animal health you know basically just the basics that a lot of people take for granted that a lot of these newcomers in our area don't even know the first thing about irrigation that transitions into my real estate career about Isis the real estate agent and it's became a broker and then God the company I was working for got merged into a larger company and we started this ranch division and it's statewide we call over I think one of the advantages that I have for my MSU experience is the people I know I go to any and know how to find out information and that community could somebody have met through school or you know some kind of connection through this campus but it might agree specifically with ranch management which was an option by graduated and many for there was a strict science option or nutrition option in Apple science the ranch management degree was very well rounded it had communication at business law as well as in a myriad of animal and graduated classes that you're available people even taking a curriculum and I think the range stuff I use every day and it took it for granted when I was in college but I if I could go back to school if I would take more damage license which is very practical stuff I liked I'm Leon Wells and I do not graduate as you sorry I just point you I graduate and call the extinguished Obispo and I was kind of similar through a big wrenching background that you're a but a town of eight and her people in California no you don't care of that very often anymore but I did have a people my town and so going to college was the biggest city and it was like forty thousand people a lot like Bozeman and so I was a little intimidated starting out they came from high school where my high school seemed kind of idea my counselors pushed me toward animals and bettan pre-vet because there what would you like animals this will be perfect for you you can go to pre-vet route so I kind of set myself up for failure my first quarter because I signed up freely you know by all fifty-one chemistry I thought I was going to be all on top of it and my very first quarter college was very very rough because I discovered pretty quickly diagnosed study and so I came through and my advisor was the best thing that I relied on quite a bit at Cal Poly and I came in pre-vet like I said and quickly he urged me to do an internship with a veterinarian and he said have you ever hung out with a veterinary lon I said no I have it okay so well let's let's get you set up an internship so my freshman summer I went home and worked as I told him I wasn't ready to do that and so I went on work my parents and came back myself more year I actually at Cal Poly they have animal I'm not positive I miss you but a couple I with different animal units and you can live at the different units like he can live with the Sheep eternal peace unit well the beef unit happened to be full so I went to them as a sheep unit I never had any experience in sheep like my ranch doesn't have sheep on it so it was pretty humbling to explain something that I had no capability whatsoever I mean it was a total learning experience because cheaper morning I swear they give up you would go out and it was just like you were healthy this morning was wrong with you and so my sophomore summer I interned with a large animal in bed on a Central Coast Californian and it was awesome she was surgical vet so we did a lot of surgeries but everything else but she was a very brutal person as far as if this is what you want you have to go for it if this isn't what you want you need to you know start thinking about that now and she put me through the wringer I mean she's been through two divorces she had three kids she was all over the state of California 24 hours a day seven days a week because that was her passion she was a good veterinarian she was good at what she did and she was awesome however I quickly discovered that that wasn't where I wanted to go in my life like I didn't want to be on call 24 hours a day seven days a week I didn't think that I had that driving force that passion inside of me so I came back from that internship a much better person for it is knowing more where my career goals line however now here I am two years in to pre-vet and I'm suddenly wanting to switch my concentration anyway someone to do animal scientists wasn't sure what so my advisor and I stopped down and he brought up how about meat science you know like you're interested in me cutting and processing them I said oh boy ok and we did a little bit of range it took some range processes to you that was romantic or slide and really just didn't spark anything for me so my junior kind of spring semester I did some embryology reproductive classes for equine fell in love and I absolutely loved everything about it and considered going just into the embryology school and for some reason I just didn't ever make it there but that was where I really liked it and then so when I graduated from couple and the only one to graduate in four years so I really push to do that because I wanted out of school I was paying for not myself and debt as you know quickly prices when you're paying for yourself so my guys were doing animal science with an agribusiness minor and so when I graduated I did an internship with superior farms up in Northern California which is a sheep processing facility they have three facilities in the United States ones in Dixon California ones in Denver and then one in Boston so I did it three months internship with that and I once again discovered science was not very long it didn't make my career back and I had been a gentleman from American Samoa Association at Cattlemen's Convention in 2005 and he had taken down my information because I was interested in internships learning more about it and Americans never told me to offer a cabine internship during the spring semester runs from January to April the cap out about a thousand head of cows freezing cold weather and in every condition that will throw at you so I was interested in that at the time they already had an internship so I had couldn't kind of consider coming up here and just doing an internship with him after I graduated well he happened to call me they had a job opening and I I freaked out because I was like I think help right now my life I didn't know anyone in Montana I didn't know anything about Montana I knew I thought it would like Montana but I didn't know and so they flew me up here I spent three days here absolutely fell in love with Bozeman we did a little bit of eastern Montana we went to a couple ranches and I just decided this is where I wanted I wanted to at least start out my career so they gave me a really really good job at American Simmental I started out with communications writing press releases doing media releases and really really want to emphasize if you can pay attention in those classes in college I really regret now that I did not take more communications classes because I am constantly everyday writing emails writing letters I mean you're addressing the public and it's just it's very difficult when you don't have a good writing base and you have to keep reaching out to people because they kind of expect you to to have that base so if you can take any sort of communication these classes press releases it's something you should definitely know especially starting out at a ground-floor I evolved into doing th e which is total enrollment I had like tht we abbreviate told her enrollment I manage I'm the lead on that program so I manage about eighty thousand cows across this nation on any given day I could talk between 100 and 200 producers and my basically collect all the calving data running PDS for them we do to hire some reviews every year which is where we take all the CPP use expected crunch that we're sorry I forget that probably from the close know that but we take all those returned to the cattle producers just their prints also their data letting them know how good those calves are begin evaluating on paper not just our compassionate last summer Jerry decided that gives me additional responsibilities so now I'm doing DNA and kind of the so you learn quickly like when you evolve into this if your boss says can you do this you quickly say yes because in this economy do you want to keep our jobs you don't want to question your boss so if it all like you're feeling overwhelmed together that's a problem but always try there were separate responsibilities so now I'm doing DNA how what I'm doing without his parents verification of cattle so I the I said now kids they pull each other on their animal they mail and in the lab we tell them who that animal is and whether it is indeed you know worth as much money as hoping so that's not really the basis of it but that's kind of what I do and so that's where I'm not now and I guess yeah I don't want to take up too much time so I would just really encourage you and I think this is really awesome this you can love these workshops for you because I don't I don't think there was anything available like this when I went to school in 2006 and so definitely utilize these networking is very huge to try to get to know everyone in your department because you're going to reach out to them the Alumni Association and after you graduate and so I was me too I graduated in 2002 but I took a girl often ended up in graduate school a year later getting a masters and then PhD at the University of Missouri and loved it loved every bit of the program really because it was my passion it was a lot of hard work I've never worked so hard and cutter life but I've loved every minute of it so did that congratulate it about two years ago and as I was graduating I was looking for work kind of all across the country but I'm from North Dakota my husband's from Idaho we wanted to end up back in this northern area of the country and so I was applying to jobs all over my heart just one would hit it I knew chuck you my boss I knew that some embryo transfer work up face that thousand and I just called them and explained to him my situation and I met him once before and so he kind of knew me he knew a little bit about my background and and he sort of made a position available for me so I would think that's one lesson to maybe walk out of this door with is that you don't always have to apply for the job that's was the Declassified especially in this economy might need to sort of make some of those opportunities happen so anyway so about two years ago that had this conversation with chocolate turns out that he had maybe a permission that I could fail in his company and I came toward here two years ago and he has a small embryo transfer company there's only three of us that worked there and and and my current job laboratory handsome cattle work but I trained myself to do in graduate school but I'm learning more expanding what I know and really love it I travel my job is 100 percent travel we don't have a clinic so all the work we do is on a farm and it's Idaho Brasco so I travel a lot but when I'm home I'm home that grading papers I'm not really so really appreciate that and we we are I guess a little bit about our company which my boss worked in this industry for about 25 years and worked for trans Oba or most of that time and then Brent broke off about five years ago and opened up his own embryo transfer business and we worked for really too many clients and a lot of my work is laboratory oriented it's very technical be able to remember details remembered numbers pretty quickly and stay focused but if you can do that request as you say the degree is primarily learning how to handle animal breeding in the genetics and stuff like that so I'm kind of getting the gist it seems like these two are heavily involved in that second of the main for shooting the degree you want go first well right these two things I think one of the things you should do with your education so you need to I would say I completely totally agree that you need to be well-rounded especially coming out as an animal science major because even in my job I mean usually 40 hours a week I am in an office which that's a new environment for me I've never been in an office before however I mean I go out to the ranches sometimes they need help they help flushing thing help reading you know they need help just working coughs anyone ranchers call me and I'll Drive but to do together you know and I'm working cows for two days so you need to be able to pretty much be exposed be ready for anything and with the animal's life I mean if you've never handled a man up like that's what that species before just be honest with someone say I've never dealt with this species or can you please show me what you're looking for and I just I can't emphasize a method I think it's it's both I mean if you're gonna need animal science me someone's going to expect you to know certain things or at least the gist of most of it but no one's going to expect you to be a master in any area just coming out of college so always be willing to say I don't know I guess my daily work environment is like I mentioned before from 8:30 to 4:30 our thumbs come on and I mean we're even expanding internationally in hell where we have me of readers from Mexico readers a from Canada that's always really entertaining I'm hearing their gaze and but it's it's it's definitely so from a 30 for 30 I'm supposed to be available for her phone for phone calls and between that I also need to be getting paperwork done sending emails faxes that mean whatever someone needs I mean yesterday was Texas issue dates for juniors so I had kids you know it's young as nine years old and papers on their head for to be issued so you kind of you learn to juggle you learned a multi-task a lot my job because no one day is the same as the last there's always different cycles in the cattle industry so I roll with those scientists and you know I could be registering Angus cows one day and some and talk out some X because we register we're multi breed registry so you just you always have to be on your toes I also have it with numbers memory people's names I know that sounds finicky but when you go into customer service knowing something about them my brother-in-law taught me a really cool thing that every time I have someone new I read through named on the index card something interesting about that person so when they call me the next time I'll be able to say how's your wife Mary how's your new baby who's two months old you know you kind of know key things about those people that make feel connected and I think that that's the biggest thing about my job is just making those connections because that's what keeps people coming back in our industry so I guess in in any business people have to find you they have to know what you do where you're at find your business so marketing is a huge deal you have to have a trade public image and there's a million ways to do that but behind that but with the image you have to have customer service so a lot of this you know this well-roundedness camera is you can't say it enough I mean obviously your interests lie in a specific part of your degree that's where you're taking it but the extra classes and advisors and of course people a good idea are just priceless you know accounting and things that I at the time I was like I want to take this class I might want to go but I use it every day in they were cramming that's poor but the daily activity for me is it's all based on customer service I'm hired to help somebody promote their ranch and sell it and so I have to figure out what people are looking for what information and with my background you know the lifestyle that I was raised in I feel like somebody similar to myself would be a good representative to feel comfortable as your clientele and my clientele of Montanans it's a lot of them are older and they want them they don't want some salesman coming in and you know being select they they want somebody with integrity with a good work ethic and you know somebody that they trust and then they're comfortable and it's not always me but it's that's the debate system of sales of being hired and trusted found with your marketing and then providing this customer service which is again you're talking about and if you don't know something bringing in a team of people that can help you solve problems and get things done and typically in a real estate transaction your team is most often an accountant most often an attorney yourself with the marketing and sales professional and you know knowledgeable about the property that you're representing and then various people to get all the paperwork done with it it's different every day it's a lot of communication talking on the phone sending emails you want to know how to structure a letter shows that you are educated and you know pulling out a kid and and even now a texting that means texting is becoming huge but just forwarded contracts to something at my home here just it's just technologies changes but I can't even say day in and day out it's something different my favorite part of my job is in the field and seeing things walking the land through one of my worst things is knowing what weeds are because I cannot look at anything but it's also part of my job Club it's a state law that that landowner just me to manage weeds on their property and not like go to seed and I loved home and it actually brings the value of a property down so as you would know I mean it's in MO science that's the land is your your resource to do anything chemicals that if it's not producing it loses its value here's what it tough pretty the view is if it's following that leave it might I also have very face proofing the name and it also revolves around what sort of strange about my job is that it's not Monday Friday it's if we have work if it's work when you have the work but when we are working it's usually long breo's and all of that can be long mentally and it's really challenged yourself in fact this recipient doesn't blame yourself stay focused students were challenged but so there are long days and they can be stressful days we can the high value animals and embryos stay on it all day long focus but but they're fun days and they I feel we work with some really big ranches formal weather and which do you interact I guess well the network question when you network every day everest need to talk to you never know when that person you're going to call up on them again for something or another thing as far as i'm a member of my alumni association i definitely recommend that it keeps you tight in it keeps you in tune with what's going on everywhere on the industry i happen to have a very very good at CEO at my company who keeps us on the ball as far as education i mean if there's something new out with mark carcass data i mean he has it on our desk and you better have that read but if i'm right so off questions for you good night and so as far as my educational i mean he keeps me on my toes enough where i'm reading I mean the first screen that comes up with my computer in the marina's cattle fax and I'm checking the markets I mean you always you need to know what's going on around the country just because I'm going to be talking to people from around the country day so the drought in Texas the John Oklahoma the fires in Texas it's very important to be up on current events because you need to know what's going on in these people's lives so I guess for me networking is just it's key to my job and keeping my job and I think that you'll learn as you go along the more people you get to know the better off you are the articles that means angry religiously every but I listen to thank Network but I read their website and obviously those are all key things that are tight culture and news but as a licensed real estate person Montana here you're required to take so much continuing ed every year so we have to take at least 12 hours of education and within the courses that are offered there's typically a handful that are specifically related to something that I would do that would be water related you know beads related something to do is land and I typically try to keep an eye out for those types of classes because that's something I'm interested in and it's more practical for what I do but we also have ethics that we have to know inside and out a lot of legal issues that come up things that protect that only only the consumers but ourselves as professionals as well and technology is huge obviously that's always ever-changing and the biggest thing we're learning is social media is all the rage and learning how to utilize that to promote yourself and I am NOT a like a like if I could just say one thing if you have a Facebook page as soon as you enter this industry you treat it like you are talking to that person it is HUGE HUGE I think the impact that social media has I know that it sounds weird but it's very interesting you can't put all your feelings out there for everyone in the world to see so yeah I think it's just too good a class recently and this basically just you know never speak bad about any other thing to do is put your drink down on the table because it somewhere and employer I think this industry is a very small industry and so I think it's important to network but it's also what we're hearing it's important to have those interactions being positive picked up because it's a small world people talk I went to grad school in Missouri but but I have you know connections so and also you know keeping all of the beef industry and you know tracking these mutations yeah well I think the biggest thing for me that I had to overcome was fear and like I mentioned I didn't know anyone in Montana I moved up here without knowing his stall I literally flew home packed my truck putting you all together and drove in one town and I had no place to live I lived in a hotel for four days I think I'm good the Royal seven I mean it's it's one of those things if you care enough to invest in yourself obviously as you're here if you care enough to invest in yourself believe in yourself and I would tell myself you know five years ago that just believe it's gonna work and if it doesn't work out I mean you know that it wasn't meant to be but just have that faith in yourself that yes you can go to a place where you don't know anyone and you will make friends and you may not be the most popular person the first three months when you're crying and missing home but he will eventually you know like make a life for yourself and I and I think I could have had a lot more doors open for me as a senior if I would have been more willing to look at out-of-state things and so just know that about yourself like if you are Montana and this is where you want to be in this is where you want to stay then great but be open to other opportunities out there because in this economy someone may call you Arkansas and say we want you to come down and you know we're here and if that's something that you're not sure about kind of start thinking about those kind of things because you have to go where the money is right now or where that someone's gonna offer you a job and that may not be here or it may be here but just just know that you can do it I guess yeah my my looking back regrets possible it's kind of time into the same thing would have been confidence maybe you know advisers telling me to go one direction when you're your gut or your passion and someplace else but obviously if you're passionate about something it's a pretty big word I mean very elaborate but you really want to enjoy what you do every day and if you enjoy it that's a lot of it and that will move out of you people will see that that you're confident you you know what you're talking about and you're excited about it's a little lot of hire you don't like to come and choose your business whatever that involves and I think even graduating when you get everywhere you looked I want two years experience so how many get that then I think you know a head start as your your internship it's something that is industry related might not be specifically what that job is but it's it's the field and it's the people that are related to that and it's all of that just having that I just want employers to you know have you just need that well-rounded but just like I said you need something to give you that confidence that you're worth what you know you are is obviously taking this time to go to school and graduate which is you can get specific into something and there's so many ways you can go with animal science and encode students that I watch as pull ups and back then it was much more specific there what there wasn't all the options that there are now in there's a lot of people in genetics and a lot of people that took their animal science degree home and they have embryo transfer lab at their ranch in Russia and help them with their beef industry opportunities that are out there international I choose to like it's confidence knowing that you one of the things I take for granted is I know what I know but I'm not a I don't like to promote myself right I guess I was raised not to talk about yourself and I'm amazed every day at the knowledge that I have that I take for granted and a lot of it's just for me and it's because of a multicultural community of states and the United States that I think that we have to offer just general what are you going to be when you grow up if you don't need to have in the five different careers and so you know you can change if you get into a job and you don't like it to change that and so I think I had a fair amount of stress what and things will happen you know I think because I do some of those self-assessment and find the things that you really interested in and then we kind of get acquainted with people who are working in that same area and it's that small world if you're interested in this and you know it and you're in that overall in your making opportunities will show up did you guys speak I didn't in college I did four years in high school I really wished I would have taken more Spanish because they deal with a much people from Venezuela and Brazil but it's not pretty when I get on and try to explain things in Spanish I miss them I took several years of Spanish like I can translate a sentence and spit it back out to you when I enough that I could communicate a little bit I was never you know the cultural thing everything's more important than the language barrier almost I went to a national meeting where we just discussed small factors of cultural differences the Asian cultures are so different than ours and we don't offend people so easily by handing over a business partner only and just little things that those little small practices of just cultural etiquette touched it so I lost a lot of that but but I would encourage it I think there's no doubt it's it's cultural it's a global economy but if you could do that if you could specify this culture that you're interested in first age some of the other things when you go and interview just for an interview that would be her biggest advice in fact we we're right now we're gonna candidates for some of our positions in the department and there there's one person that didn't dress really for life back so dress appropriately when I hose down a New Mexico State University and there was a person there I was out of research center plank in Mexico gave up and he was fine interviewing up there with the Advisory Committee of blue jeans and a nice fresh shirt jacket and then he went down and interviewed Las Cruces and he went to the dean's office and in came back it's like you're not irony he didn't dress for the friendly organizations and we have a fabulous program here and we'll invade Sciences you can choose several options you can do the industry graph science wrap each write science route it isn't a range land you can do the range of algae or they have so we have several options you can have it for classes I think we have some of the best classes anywhere because we have a lot of hands-on and the several you're going now you know things I think the beet production class fabulous D and we have people going out and and the other thing we're really concentrating on that class some of the business aspects is that some of the things that you really don't get with just a truly science background you know some of the things that I tried to govern in class this year was human resource management they asked me what I think is challenge everyday Personnel Management if you get an opportunity to do that my guess and you're going to do that no matter how you what your job is you're going to deal with you so that's some of the biggest challenges really is to figure out how to deal with people some days it's like an apple sang to enjoy animals and lifestyle but the promise that are attached to people so you have to deal with their people so it's always people well in that veterinarian told me a really good quote once I always remembered it he said I've never had me animal pick up the phone call and it's very very true because you're dealing with emotions and volatile I mean in the cattle industry I'm dealing with high dollar animals I mean you know you can only give it to a get out of $75,000 donor drop dead and so you're dealing with some big emotions and I think talking about handle people I really think some of the foreign language is not it is a big culture that's one of the things there's actually at this class here too it's not gonna bring replevin down a lot of the variance it's a fabulous opportunity for you to take that class well it's not really a class it's an evening where you go to dinner they have people in the Senate but you know how much glass is your orders I would recommend ease and the other thing that I would highly recommend is get involved in your student organizations is when you get out and it's a pure decision and you're going to work in some kind of committee a construction that's why I got my job as good as I was party fellas and I mean you know you went to all - eponymous conventions I always I was really big at the beef industry you have to get your name on there you made contacts yeah so I would pick like you know at least five clubs not only do they like play look good on your recipe - I mean if people are you know they're gonna want to know why you only have a three-point - you gave my instance and was doing all these different things so your parents are your most like your biggest critics yeah so ing to keep the great toast because that's one of the things people are gonna like that is personally they look at your transcripts you know other activities that we call that and then when you're in organizations we get involved in the leadership it's really important that you take over all with some of these organizations we have some fabulous organizations but you can get to gives you the opportunity to go out and then we've actually been pretty here last time you had an account aq team they want it and then they drop the next year that's one thing to practice I would even recommend you know some of the social events at conventions that are like say the stock repelling number the Friday of that convention is social and just walk around and there's a trade show and those are AG related businesses promoting their services to the stock growers and everybody may know that you could go around shake hands graduating and a couple of years or give any summer jobs or uses we always joke in our industry it's not what you know it's who you know a lot of that is true you've got to have relationships with people for them to know you and the 4.0 might not always do it and they've got to well I think the biggest thing for our internships that we offer because we don't want internships throughout the year by the way if any of you are ever interested in seeing what it's like to work for a reason so station is that we we sit down and we have this pool of resumes right and dr. Loe see main hall and say hey you know which of these kids do you recommend because maybe if no one's jumping out of us it's gonna be who your advisor recommends who you know who knows this person like maybe I happen to know him from you know around town or something and it's it's very interesting with certain into it because you will have a such a bigger chance to get that internship if you have maybe came into our office and introduced yourself and said you know not just me less your resumes day follow up with it was saying hey I was just checking to make sure you got my resume I I would say that's you putting a face to the resume helps us make decisions on to do something sometimes it's every job go out and do something totally I think the veterinarian is a huge example of that I worked in it for several years I that's what I was going to be when I grew up it's very interesting work I love it but I I feel like it's it's a 24/7 thankless job times are working in it I don't think they get paid you know you don't have a life other than you and it's really a job it's great but you if you do an internship you'll see that side of it and I think the biggest thing is I took did internships in areas that I thought I may be interested in making a career out of and pretty quickly after spending three months someplace you know whether you ever want to go back so if you're even hesitant to do an internship because it'll give you a grade they usually try to give you a sampling of these fit areas I did the mean science across this facility I worked in you know Quality Assurance I worked on the kill floor I worked you know with and with the ladies in the office it was a very well-rounded internship and I highly recommend it helps you eliminate definitely areas where you don't make you may be interested so with because I get to help manage some interns at our at our Association and my biggest thing biggest pet peeve is when you're late and so if you're doing an internship please please I already gave you 15 minutes early it is it is one of my biggest things I mean I will note that down when people ask me for if you an one time not a big deal but if you're consistently 5-10 minutes late it'll really favor the impacts how I rate your performance and silly but it's stuff that really does weigh into decisions at hire time and you know that person was always you know and I brought in case you guys more interested in knowing more about forensic at all because I realize they're not the most popular cattle us like Angus I kind of read these little packets that just give you the overview and has magazines in there and such so if you're interested in the box you can kind of glance through it yeah I'm just here as an academic advisor I love what you're saying about definitely get your communication class in understand how to write well those core classes are there for a reason because no matter what major you choose whether it's an animal science or I have a degree in civil engineering even though I'm an academic advisor now I had to write my underwrite often you know lab reports are one thing but when you get into the professional work world you do have to write Amendment and letters and emails and texts and all kinds of communication as well as communicating in front of a group of people you have to be able to speak publicly and feel a little comfortable even if it makes your heart pound a little bit feel comfortable in yourself that you can communicate well so if you want to take a class that helps with that there's comm 110 which is the public speaking class there's your seminars where you always get an opportunity to speak and then smiling at Luke hood because she was in my freshman seminar a few years ago so I teach on campus as well I like how you guys spend like you started off in a major but then your path may be so convoluted you don't know where you're gonna end up but follow your heart study what you love study what you love studying what you love because if you are studying something that you're not enjoying even if you graduate that with that degree and go into the workforce it's probably gonna catch up with you I studied engineering and to tell you that you I did not love it I liked it I was good at it but I did not love it and by the time I got into the workforce and started working as an engineer I just didn't have the staying power I didn't stay long enough to get to this really fun project so I quickly moved out when I got my masters in education and if taught middle school ice bullet 92 college Mountain science as well as the seminar so follow your heart and really listen to it it's hard to believe in yourself and it's hard to recognize sometimes that but I'm going through all this physics and calculus and now I really don't like it and I don't want to switch at this point but listen to your heart that's not really what you're enjoying then come see an adviser we're in the academic advising center over in Gaines Hall go see your advisor in your department and try to have a heart-to-heart conversation about it and just say you know what this is not my thing but I really do enjoy this part of the curriculum or go to Career Services and find out what your passions are they do those really cool interest inventories and if you answer them honestly it puts out some really interesting careers for you and then we sit down with the career coaches and they go over it with you and really can figure out this is some really key points of your personality key points of how you see your life going now I granted I understand that you could have a career now and then in ten years have another I've had I think three or four careers now in my I don't consider myself that old yet and I'm wondering what's going to come next I love what I do I smile every day I get to talk to students all day long and I'm going over the time because I'm good at this but I encourage you guys to have conversations with everyone you can about your major and about the you know coming to this is a great opportunity to meet professionals that's a great way to understand and those internships same thing you're out there you're actually practicing something you enjoy so we're open every day 8:30 to 4:30 over in Gaines Hall if you want to come to the academic advising Center and talk with a general advisor that's what we do or go and see your specific advisor in your department you're already deflated thanks so we have okay education pays this is kind of our summary oh this is why you're here as you your education you'll see the more educated you are the more you earn the less likely you are to be unemployed we are we do a survey every year and so when you graduate and you get the call from career services that says what are you doing and how much are you making please answer in those costs it makes this information that much more valuable and useful for us we had a fifty percent response rates people that we called 81.5% of reported being employed or in grad school full-time ten point employed or in graduate school part-time work white or unemployed and looking I think these numbers are pretty good in there pretty close to the national and then anyway the group that I want to be in something this is what I want to be when I go just do that two-point never sent that goodbye yeah retired here's our average salary by year in the green this is overall the whole University it's not specific to animal science this is where we didn't have a whole lot of respondents for the plant science and the science option so this is where it's really helpful this again is number citywide we're we're noticing the way our keyword land-grant institution and we're keeping our students in the state and has a really really good thing especially the College of Agriculture 59% of our investor graduates remain in see and look like it's enjoy thank you everybody
