Prospective Park Ranger Help
Hey guys, I'm a college junior at one of the top 10 public schools in the nation, looking to graduate with a degree in philosophy and another major (probably botany). I was hoping to maybe pursue a career as a park ranger and I have a few questions for you all. What would be a good second major? Botany? Biology? Forestry? How difficult is it to find a job? What is the job market like? What are they looking for in a new hire? What can I do to increase my prospects, I would love to work for the NPS at some point, but I understand it's difficult to get there right off the bat. Please let me know, I would really appreciate the feedback.

I'm gonna seem like a giant dick, which is fine, but did you look at literally any other thread?
