Occasionally the federal govt (USDA; FDA; EPA; USGS) has openings and some companies like Monsanto, Pioneer Hi-Bred, or Dow Agrosciences has openings for botanists/plant geneticists but not many compared with the number of graduates in the field and you will most likely need a Ph. D. to get a decent job.

It is a real longshot like most of the Biology or Chemistry majors have with getting a decent job with the major.
