Individuals with the necessary skills and knowledge as consultants are typically promoted early and quickly in their professions. These promotions may take multiple forms, such as higher positions of responsibility within the same county, relocation to a different county within the state, or even a salary raise. After completing a series of progressively more challenging extension jobs, many agents become part of the staff of the state agricultural college. Many individuals currently holding positions as extension services directors began their careers this way. Agricultural consultants can also explore other fields. They frequently work in related professions, particularly those related to farm products. Their background in agriculture and the training they have received make them outstanding candidates for a wide range of jobs in the agricultural sector.
