I'm applying to conservation corps. I know the pay is going to shit but I'm retarded and I think it's cool to camp and work on trails all day.Anyone have experiences with /out/ jobs?
>>2856976Maintaining trails is pretty cool. Joining totalitarian government enforcing private clubs is pretty gay.
>>2856976I volunteer for a trail association. /out/ work in my region doesn't pay the bills unfortunately.
>>2856977>private clubs>national forest is a private clubwew lad
>>2856976Ecologist is a pretty good middle ground for field and then transition to office/specialist species when you get sick of the field. Pay isn't terrible out here either.
>>2856980Lol imagine thinking this. You are genuinely retarded. The internet exists you are on it. The conservation Corp is a private organization. The national forests are not. You are a fucking moron and should be ashamed of your stupidity.
>>2856984>The conservation Corp is a private organization. The national forests are notShut the fuck up you stupid cunt. Your retarded gibberish response barely deserves a reply. CC work in NF. Any cope reply from you is null and void to do your overwhelming retardation. You're a fucking idiot. go away.
>>2856985Give him a bit. He's still spinning his wheels trying to think of a reply to this.

>>2856984Conservation corps are most all government organizations. California conservation corps, arizona conservation corps, etc are state run and things like americorps are federal. They are not private orginazations they are a public program to create jobs and skill development for young people.
>>2856976I can't afford /out/ jobs. Realistically I don't know any millennials or zoomers who can. It's going the way of the dodo.
I want to go back to mowing yards. It was much more fun chainsmoking with my boss and pushing a mower than listening to browns yap about bullshit for izzat.
Land Surveying. Been doing it over ten years and ive seen some beautiful spots.
I have worked as a Land Surveyor in multiple industries and multiple continents, if you are interested ask away, I could type away a big spiel but desu I kinda can't be fucked but I will answer questions with depth if interested
>>2856976It's slave wages, and if it's trails they will drag your ass through hell and high water, but with one season under your belt you'll have a good shot at any WG-03 or 04 trails position with the feds. Which is to say, the best job in the world.>>2857498What background do you need for this? For some reason I'm always jealous of you niggers just standing by the roadside twiddling your equipment.
>>2857431>>2857498Land survey anons, how do I really get /out/ on the job? I work as a construction surveyor right now, but I don’t like building subdivisions in the suburbs all day. When I finish school I want to survey glaciers or mountains or something. No PLS yet but I’m working on it
I work as an exploration geologist for a big mining company in Canada. I've been able to travel internationally as well to some of the coolest places. I've just got back from a project in Arizona. I've travelled to places like Nahanni, remote arctic islands, parts of Alaska, the deserts of Chile, Namibia etc. It's probably the most out job ever. I get paid to stay in fly camps we set up in the mountains even.
>>2857510>What background do you need for this? For some reason I'm always jealous of you niggers just standing by the roadside twiddling your equipment.My background was carpentry and I used to always see surveyors come onto my jobsite and I was jealous. So I went to university and studied a course in it, you can get jobs without a degree but they will only take you so far on the pay scale. A good way to get a foot in the door (ausfag here btw dunno what it is like in other countries) It should be a degree as there are a lot of things to learn, in reality background doesn't matter as long as you aren't stupid with mathematics, you can do whatever you want to do whenever you want.>>2857515>Land survey anons, how do I really get /out/ on the job? I work as a construction surveyor right now, but I don’t like building subdivisions in the suburbs all day. When I finish school I want to survey glaciers or mountains or something. No PLS yet but I’m working on it.I think the simplest answer is to just change company anon, I do believe it is quite rare to get a surveying job which is specifically /out/ only. I used to work a job which sent me to virgin land to obtain data for potential gas wells. This sent me truly into the in the middle of nowhere which was very neat, sometimes awful land and sometimes beautiful scenery. My current job has me doing construction and literally everything else. most surveying leads to construction of habitat unless you get a rare job surveying within the ecological field with other professions. Ironically the most /out/ I have gone with surveying is with oil/gas giant companies like anon here.>>2857524Just look at the scope of work when applying and ask questions during interviews, follow the company on LinkedIn to see their work etc.
>>2857529meant to say destruction of habitat
>>2857515I think it really depends on the company and what they specialize in. I’ve been wanting to find mainly a mainly /out/ company but they’re hard to find in the here in the south east since everything is being so built up.I do construction stuff probably 40% of the time but the rest is either commercial property update surveys or I’m inna woods.
I’m a geologist. Licensed and everything.
>>2859212What's it like drilling in the absolute shittiest parts of the Dakotas and Texas?
I'm deploying to Antarctica in 2 Weeks. Has anyone here been to McMurdo?
>>2856976Game Warden might be an alright /out/ job. You get to stop Asians from poaching 10,000 undersized fish
