In the Unforeseeable Future

Hi, this is Jessica again.

No one knows what their future will be like. We have the general route in mind but, like any road trip, we don’t take into consideration all of the pit stops and detours that seem to suddenly spring. This is the same for my future. I know that I want to work with plants, but I cannot predict where I will end up. Will I stay in the United States or will I get a job at an international public garden? Will I want to specialize in a specific plant family or species? There is no way to tell. But, I have no doubt that getting degrees in horticulture and biology will lead me to a career that I will be very happy with.
