How can a man get into ranching?
I'm a senior in high school, and I have gotten acceptance into my state's Land Grant College, my state's Public Ivy, a fallback, and an Ivy League school. My family doesn't own any land suitable for ranching, and I do not expect to be very rich after school.
Recommendations from those of you involved in agribusiness? Should I just give up?
Pic unrelated.

Ranching doesnt make money anymore. All those family run cattle/whatever ranches have gone under, or are running a deficit.
You will be competing with massive industrial operations.
I too am looking for land, ~80 acres, and want to be able to make money from it in some way. We plan on having chickens, goats and maybe geese or some similar critters. I think I could make it in the meat market if its 100% organic, natural feed (grain if beef/wildflowers if goat etc etc) and sell the meat to upper scale resturaunts as local.
I know some folks in TX, cheif of popo's, and they say beef is a losing industry, even if done right aand only for meat, just too expensive.
Well, thats my plan. Also doing a gardening deal too, 100% organic local GMO free etc etc. For family first and if we can handle the workload then sell it in town.
