Recommended for you

Programmers are responsible for programming.

I'd recommend looking at makers of the sort of equipment you have an interest in making and see what openings they have. There are plenty of YouTube videos showing demonstrations and end users of field equipment - planting, fertilizing, irrigation, pest control, harvesting, and all the agriculture adjacent activities.

There are also all the non-field equipment, such as used for feeding and milking cows, managing chickens.

I recommend you find something you like.
 
Why did you pick this major in the first place?
Does it align with your interests?
There are numerous websites such as Indeed.com Monster.com

If you find few listings for your selected industry or major compared to others, that'll tell you the relative abundance of jobs.
The individual listings will usually have a job description, although those are typically not 100% reliable.

Technical Engineering degrees are generally specialists in calibrating and maintaining machinery, testing processes, and general quality control. They don't actually obtain the more theoretical engineering degree, which means they tend to be limited to their area of specialization (for example, someone emphasizing agricultural mechanization won't do so well in a chemical process facility). One plus side to taking a technical degree is that the student usually gets some sort of practical co-operative or apprenticeship experience before degree completion, making them that much more employable "out of the box", so to speak. For opportunities specific to your career path / geographic region, check job postings under "Jobs Not Requiring University Degree". Then filter out the ones that ask for stuff your course does not cover. For example: an agriculture mechanization background probably does not land a job as an electrician.
