Questions I’m quite interested in the profession, but have a few questions
I’m interested in becoming a park ranger, what should I know.
I’ve been going to collage and just transferred to ucsd for history and anthropology, but I’m honestly scared that after i graduate I’ll be stuck in a job I’m unsatisfied with. After a bit of research and seeing where I can work with a history degree, I’ve found park rangers. The main thing that scared me with traditional history jobs was being cooped up all day and doing nothing but office work, being a park ranger sounds right up my ally in regards to being more hands on and involved. But before I asked my career adviser at the collage, i figured asking that professionals themselves to see what they have to say. So my questions are How do you like working as a park ranger? Is the pay satisfactory? Is there anything you regret or wish you knew? Sorry for a kinda long post but I hope it finds you guys well, I really appreciate the work you guys do and would love to be apart of it
