JOBS IN NATURAL RESOURCES

The 'Jobs in Natural Resources' page tends to focus on employment opportunities leaning towards outdoor field work and the resources professions while the 'Jobs in Environment' tends towards advocacy and activism - but check both lists.

Just because a job may involve outdoor work doesn't mean you don't need specialized training. Yes, you can get paid to hike through the woods doing such work as utility line clearance, but the pay is low and turnover is very high. The biggest employer for natural resource occupations is the government and those private companies that contract with various agencies.

Natural resources professionals often have 4 year science degrees or higher degree. Even then entry level professional positions are modest in payscale. Make sure you understand the financial nature of a career in conservation. Many people enjoy a long and happy life working in natural resource and conservation professions, but they generally don't make 6 figure incomes as a result. Plan accordingly.

I look at each web site when updating links but a web's policies for accessing job information can change with no notice, so check for possible fees. Don't forget that New announcements are frequently added.
