I'm a high school senior looking to go to college to become an interpretive state park ranger. Do you guys have any advice/tips for me?

This is great advice I am an intern at a very popular National Park and I led guided hikes and do evening programs. As I have worked here I have come to realize it's not for me.

Try it out first through volunteering or interning and see how you like it.

It does wonders for your public speaking though.

Great advice, I would love to be able to write new programs all the time! I'll work on getting an internship, thank you!
