You want a job in the beef industry?

Forget that clichéd young buck dream of becoming a ‘consultant’.  That career path (term used liberally) is for young guys that have a bunch of money behind them so they don’t have to actually earn a living or men that have already established their name.

Forget the cattle marketing/photography thing.  That’s become the new “I’m going to be a marine biologist” dream of young women and you missed the easy pickings by about a decade.  Your business will have to be built based by poaching the clients of well established firms which is hard enough to do when you have an established name.

Get a computer science degree.

You’d be surprised at just how many different associations and companies are in desperate need of somebody with a background in cattle that can program.  I’m talking good jobs, with actual benefits, and actual salaries - none of that 100% commission foolishness or living in a barn.

Get to the point that comics like this not only make sense but make you laugh…

Sure, you’ll have to work and –GASP-- learn a new skill in college.

It’s called doing what other people don’t want to do and it’s as close to a sure fire path to success as there is.
