I want a career!
I’m 23 and I’m looking to start a career in forestry. I’ve always loved working outdoors and learning about the environment and I want to commit to a forestry career. I don’t know exactly what a forestry career entails but I’d like to speak with someone who’s in the field and experienced who could help me out. I’ve done an arborist job as a groundsman as well as a fall season of conservation corps. I want to do a season of wildland fire and then transition into some career in the forest service or private sector. Are there any resources with people I can talk to over the phone or in person? I live in SoCal currently and I don’t want to live here anymore so I’m willing to move anywhere. Can someone help me out with some guidance? Greatly appreciated
