| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses different career options for students graduating from a turf management program. Stresses that "completing a given program is only the first step towards a successful career - a step that fellow graduates are taking at the same time." Recommends that students focus on volunteer work, internships, their work ethic, and consider relocation. Suggests several job opportunities in the turfgrass industry, including horticulturists, irrigation technicians, environmental technicians, and pest control specialists. Concludes that students need to be "aware of the professional opportunities that exist within the golf course management field." |
