Outdoor Careers

Career Opportunities & Internships
1

Howdy,
I am looking for careers/graduate school concentrations that are 90% outdoors. I am currently an environmental science major and love conservation, fungi, ecology, forestry, horticulture etc… The problem is I have done undergraduate research and HATE the lab. I want to be outside, I want to help people and the environment, but I have no interest in working in a lab and that seems like where everything I’m looking into is taking me.

I would appreciate some suggestions of outdoor careers in the above mentioned fields.

Thanks and Gig 'Em
