You are going to find that any of the careers, that you qualify for with your education,will have a drag in the Ag sector. There are lots of people that want to work in/with agriculture. Not as many in general businesses.
Your best bet would be with either an Ag bank or Farm Credit Services. The careers in the bank/financing business don't lag as much as the ones directly involved in Ag do.
I know someone is going to come on here and tell me I am all wrong but I have four children with college degrees. All of those degrees have applications that can be related to agriculture. My kids just could not see taking a pay cut as big as 100% in the oldest case. The others where in the 50-60% range.
You are going to find a big wage drag/lag to even stay in OK. Mine did here in Iowa.
A good friend's oldest son has the exact same majors as you do. He graduated from Iowa State. He was faced with staying in Iowa and starting out at $45K or going to Chicago and starting out at $75K. He personally knows the guy that took the Iowa job. The Iowa guy is making $70K now and the guy in Chicago is making $150 now.
The sad fact it that the best money will not be in an Ag area. Just not enough jobs for the people that want to stay in the area. So the employers can pick and chose from many people.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
