Why forestry?

  "Why forestry?" Is a question I often hear when I meet with people from other departments. The question is also one of the many question I ask when I meet with people from the same discipline. Many answer they chose forestry as love the environment and want to preserve the forest, or even by neccesity because they do not get the first choice at the time of new admission exams, because in general examiness forestry department put on the order of two or even all three.
     To be honest, one I was not too interested in majoring in forestry. Why I'm less interested? One reason being a lot of people say that forestry graduates is difficult to get a job. It's the thing that kept me think of when just starting college. But after i lived in a few weeks, I think that forestry is an interesting subject and alumni do not have to work in the forestry sector.
    Then I'm looking information about forestry in indonesia and I found a fact that most of Indonesia is forested. According to the survey 72% of the total area of Indonesia is forested. It's conceivable opportunity to take an active role in forest management is quite large.
    Then I look for information about the successful person who comes from from the forestry department,and there are many successful people are alumni forestry. One is the Joko widodo which is the current president of Indonesia. He is an alumni of forestry UGM. See his succes at this point I because very motivated and want the prove that people's thinking about forestry graduates is difficult to get job was a big one. The proof of our current is the alumni forestry.
