I definately ended up taking a different route. I have an undergraduate degree in Horticulture (my main interest was in landscape design), and my MS is in General Agriculture (thesis was an urban forestry preservation project). However, I'm now on my way to becoming a licensed interior designer and am employed as a designer for an architectural firm. Our company was the lead in the Reliant Stadium project (where the Houston Texans play). I'm an interior detailer which means I spend most of my time using computer aided drafting detailing how to build millwork (cabinetry), ceilings and restrooms for a variety of commercial buildings. Every once in a while, I get a chance to review landscaping bids and drawings for our projects. I've maintained my link to agriculture by gardening, helping friends with landscape design solutions, and continuing to raise registered gray Brahman cattle.
