[QUOTE="Mongo44, post: 308048, member: 3493"] I worked for US Fish and Wildlife for 4 years. The office I was located was in the same town as TTU, which is regarded as a top notch wildlife school. Many of my wildlife friends ended up working dead end tech jobs for $8 - 10 an hour and are typically seasonal. We had students come in daily and ask about work/internships and we put em down as volunteers and worked em to death for free. Volunteer to help other students and volunteer with the local and fed agencies to get the facetime with managers and the practical experience. Also take classes in GIS/mapping as its a core component to most positions these days. That being said, your military experience will get you a federal job. It was not uncommon to see applicants with a basic degree and military experience get jobs over PhD grads with work experience. Its just how it was. Your mil police experience could land you a federal wildlife enforcement officer job - those are sweet gigs. One of my buddies has this job and he lives in Key West and all he does is drive a boat, dive and shoot guns... If you're not set on being a warden but just interested in the wildlife field, get a degree that covers both wildlife and aquatics. Often times the feds will advertise a basic biologist job with 3 diff listings - Wildlife bio, aquatic bio and wildlife/aquatic management bio. With a degree that covers both you can apply under all 3 positions instead of just 1. Its a trick that most people dont know and dont realize until after they graduate... PM me and I will give you the rundown from both the public and private side of environmental/biological work. [/QUOTE]
