The questionnaire was used in this study to collect data. To access objectives and questions of the study descriptive statistics of frequency, mean, variance, standard deviation and inferential statisticsof correlation coefficient test and multiple regression analysis were used. The results of this study indicated that the variables (lack of improvement in available job opportunities, lack of satisfaction from knowledge level during education, lack of supportive government policies in employment section, lack of specialized potentials of the students, lack of communication of the university with working centers and lack of interest to work in the jobs related to agriculture course) are significantly correlated with the dependent variable of lack of tendency to work and produce in animal husbandry sector in graduate students.
