I went to college to become a F&W/Park Ranger. This was my dream job when I was younger for sure. I went and did the schooling and loved every minute of it. Got out and pursued it for a bit but, like stated above, it was seasonal and hard to keep going for myself and I started to get bigger opportunities. With the education though I have worked in various similar fields being fish studies for the BC and AB Gov, Wildlife tracking & oilfield related enviro now, mostly on the consulting side. Either way if you like the outdoors and want a position in it, you will find one. And if you are OK with a bit of seasonal work on and off for a few years, as a bunch of my friends were, you will get into your chosen profession. Just enjoy the ride.
