Summary: 4-H involvement leads many kids into a career in agricultural sciences. Erin Smith, the director for 4-H Canada explains how 4-H can aid in career exploration. Hilary Baker is just one example, she joined 4-H when she was 11, when she attended the University of Alberta she was part of the University of Alberta Collegiate 4-H. Now Baker works as an area rangeland management specialist with the Alberta government.
Another example of how 4-H aids in agricultural appreciation and career development is Alyssa Barbero. From the time that she was nine she was apart of 4-H Beef Club. When she was a little older she joined the Rocky Mountain 4-H Swine Cub. Currently Alyssa works as a conservation technician with the Nature Conservancy of Canada.
