Özet

Social statues, tendencies and plans of students of agricultural faculties were investigated by a survey that had 21 multiple choice and 16 fill in the blanks questions. Only 10 out of 20 Faculties of Agriculture permitted the survey. The surveys were mailed to the universities and the completed 1845 survey forms were received by mail, between March 1st and May 15th, 2005. The data were analyzed using SAS V8.2 and odd ratios were calculated. According to the survey results, 64% of the students were from cities. 87% of the students stated that the education should emphasize the application more. This is because most of the students from cities are not exposed to agricultural practices. 72% of the students fear that they will be unemployed for a long time after graduation. The reason seems to be the excessive number of agriculture engineers and the negative public view on graduates of Faculty of Agriculture. Students who plan to work in private industry believed more in the benefits of education and followed the agricultural publications more closely compared to those who plan to work in a government office or to those who believe they will be unemployed for a long time (P< 0.01). Among the participants, only 6 % referred to agriculture as their ideal profession.
