WE GET NO RESPECT

We, as AG ED majors get no respect when it comes to learning outside the classroom here at Auburn University. First, at Auburn, there was the college of Argiculture. Then The was Ag Education And after that came the College of Education. I am glad to know that AG ED is what started the top notch college of education at Auburn University, but it's time we were let out. The Ag ED majors are finding it increasingly difficult to find University funded jobs on or off campus. For ex. The beef teaching unit employs several students each semester to perform a variety of jobs that revolves around cattle but those jobs are limited to just the Anamal Science Majors. Since handleing Cattle and Show calves is a big part of Ag programs across the state its hard to get the experience one would need to teach show calves and livestock to future high school students. These jobs do pay minimum wage, usually just enough to pay the gas, but they offer that one little thing we all need, EXPERIENCE.
Aside from not being Entitiled to many of these on campus jobs, we simply don't hear about many university Ag programs because our major has us in buildings that are mainly Industrial Design or education. I didn't even know about the colligeate FFA until my 3rd semester here at Auburn. Thats pretty sad for a University who's base is Agriculture. Only a few of our classes are even on Ag Hill. I do agree with the Curriculum for my major but i think we should be allowed to participate more in the universities job programs. At least in the areas that we will teach. It seems that some of the dept. heads will not allow for education majors to participate in there job programs even if they are Ag Ed.
