Agricultural science
I just graduated from University of Alberta in agricultural science and thinking to move somewhere else in Alberta (preferably in smaller town to reduce living costs) what are some good options?
I've been thinking to move somewhere near Lethbridge at the moment but would love to hear more from people. My specialization is soil science and I don't even see many opportunities in Edmonton at the moment.
I have no job at the moment and have some savings to survive a few months anywhere and would be willing to do laborer/general jobs until I find good opportunity.

I recently graduated with a degree in Agricultural Science, a multifaceted science which is a mix of geology, biology, chemistry, meteorology, engineering, economics and legislation. My graduating cohort was 60% female (21/35) and many people including myself did not come from an agriculture background. I grew up in the suburbs of a reasonably large town, and while I was always interested in agriculture, I had never worked on a farm before I started. After spending my teenage years and early 20s making bad decisions, I decided to do a bridging course at my local university to get me a new admissions score, choosing to focus on Chemistry, Anatomy and Environmental Science. The Environmental Science component of this course exposed me to [this TedTalk] () which got me thinking about all the environmental good a sustainable agriculture industry could provide.
I have worked throughout my degree on a couple of farms, for a trial plot company doing breeding line research, as a paid intern doing weed science and herbicide resistance research, as a casual laboratory technician and a laboratory demonstrator, teaching Botany, Soil Science, Animal Anatomy (with my greyhound Boo) and Biology. Currently I am working as a lab tech on a few plant physiology projects, mostly relating to frost exposure triggering flowering, and how different plants "remember" how long they have been exposed to cold temperatures. Next year I hope to do my honours project on how different environmental conditions make poisonous plants more or less toxic to livestock.
Agricultural Science is a really interesting field (no pun intended) where you can do a lot of different things. Some of my classmates will go back to their family farm with a whole bunch of new ideas to improve things, some will work in a bank, some will work in consultancy, some will work in research. There are many programs where graduates can travel to developing countries and make a huge difference to subsistence farming communities who are vulnerable to climate change and the whims of corporate agriculture.
I am located in the NSW Riverina, Australia in the wheat/sheep belt. Happy to answer questions on my degree, the industry in general, questions about plants, and if you have questions about your garden I will do my best to help.

Tl;dr: what are the pros and cons of studying GIS as a newly graduated student? What are the best resources and how to get my hands on the software?
I'm very happy to share that I've finally graduated! I have 10 months free before starting my master degree (still have to choose the course, probably will be crops' or landscape related). I hear that GIS is very useful in this field, but I've never approached the geographic systems before. I have some questions, feel free to answer only some of them. Two side notes, I live in Italy and I'm intermediate AUTOCAD 2D user.
-
Do you think that mastering GIS would add value to my profile once I'm an agriculture technician or landscape architect? Is it worth the time and the money?
-
What is some good online course available for free or under 300$\€? Especially I'm interested in academic courses. Would these courses provide me free access to the software?
-
How's GIS learning curve? Is it challenging to use? Is it fun?
-
Is there any certification required in order to prove that I can use GIS.
Thanks!

Agroforestry is an integrated approach of using the interactive benefits from combining trees and shrubs with crops and/or livestock. It combines agricultural and forestry technologies to create more diverse, productive, profitable, healthy, and sustainable land-use systems. A narrow definition of agroforestry is "trees on farms."
