US University data states that baccalaureate degree graduates in agricultural engineering and management will find industrial, sales, management, scientific and a variety of other positions in agriculture, food supply and technical and commercial service firms. Financial services, supply firms, product purchasers, and food processors are all potential employers too. In addition, some graduates return to manage family farms or businesses. Employment opportunities also originate with government agencies and with firms distributing products or those are involved in international trade.
