i will start in the autumn
the former doesnt seem viable anymore, with all of the H1Jeets pouring in. i know people in ag dont make a lot of money but i think i'd enjoy it more than sitting in a cubicle all day
i dont know what the hell im doing honestly. i do live in a state that has a lot of farmland though.

What do you mean by agriculture, like agricultural science? Regardless, go into computer engineering or something since it isn't as saturated as IT afaik

Have you ever actually worked on farms in real life? This might be up your alley if not, you might be able to see if you like it or dislike it.

probably ag science yes, im assuming thats required as a bare minimum thing for wanting to actually work out in the field and do shit like sowing/cultivating/combining plus the other general chores
im probably gonna need a CDL maybe too
as for the other STEM shit i dont think its really viable, im not the sharpest tool in the shed and IT was the only one i thought id be fine in

I don't think this is true, it'd be like asking the nigga operating excavator for an engineering degree. Most likely you just need the license to drive the combine and other machinery required to do the chores.
 
IT in the us is an incredibly bloated market rn

IT might have a lot of jeets, but agriculture, at least on a large scale is all about automation, because saving those few inches of overlap when you seeding/fertilizing/applying pesticide etc. is where the profit margins lay and that's all done via GPS etc. at least in big farms. So I'm not sure there is a huge demand for educated workforce there.

As for small farms, I know a few people who work on smallish farms and they basically do everything from inspecting the machinery, doing small to mid size repairs/maintenance, operating the harvesters and other tractors as needed and doing other manual labor when those things are not required. You need a broad range of skills to be viable in small farm.

I would suggest looking into civil engineering, because with that degree there are more options available. You can specialize in roads/buildings/bridges, tunnels etc. with your bachelors and then further specialize via your masters etc. This opens a lot of different job opportunities from office jobs like estimator and supporting engineer(basically detailing formwork/falsework/rebar etc.), to in the field jobs like foreman, to a mix of both like the customer hired overseer, to project lead which is similar to foreman just doing the planning on a more macro scale and dealing more with bunch of gay paperwork and annoying lawyers etc. instead of workers on site.

Take this with a grain of salt because the words words words I typed apply to where I live. Doe, I've been hearing for years how american infrastructure is crumbling so civil engineer might be in demand in america, too. In general I would suggest you take a deep dive into this, ask around if anyone you know knows someone in whatever industry you're looking at so you can ask them questions about how it's like in reality.
 
Probably due to lack of funding rather than lack of skilled laborers
Yeah, that could be true, I'm not familiar with the situation in America. I just gave my thoughts on this. I also forgot mention water management that falls under the umbrella of civil engineering too such as drainage/rainwater/water main/sewage management things. There is also EE, which will be in demand, if the renewable energy and EV markets keep growing.
