Sounds like an incredibly (no pun intended) down to earth and chill career choice. I have always wished I could have that kind of life... you know just stress free. I envy anyone who is getting paid to do something they love, that is something most people spend an entire lifetime without achieving.

I've thought about doing the same thing actually. But I want to make a lot of money, and I don't think I would by studying botany. :(

naah, I like growing too but better as a a hobby, actuallly learning about all the functions of the plants and names of the tissues and chemical reactions and all that would just be boring...theres much more interesting fields to pursue

Have any of you guys considered growing as a career? I haven't looked into it much, but the thought has crossed my mind.

sounds like an aweosme job, you could do botanical research during the day (which no joke sounds pretty interesting, im something of a science geek) and grow weed in your spare time

It sounds like one of those majors where people graduate and end up working at the mall, because they can't find a job.

My advice, major in software engineering. It's the easiest job and you can potentionally make alot of money.

Id go after a horticulture would be a lot more practical than a botany one. As horticulture focuses more on the actual growing. I am in a botany class at the moment, its very interesting though. Might not directly contributed to my growing but will give me a better understanding of the plants and how they work. Give a little more respect and admiration to ole mary jane. Thats just my opinion though, I am kinda into the deep science stuff too. Major used to be Nuclear engineering.

English, Teaching, Business, Botany, and maybe Horticulture (I will look into it, or a cert., or a combo Degree) are my majors. I love all plants, trees, and just nature itself. I would like to think that I have a well rounded education. I know I want to excel in these areas though, so I chose them.
