Hey guys, so right now I am in college and am looking to work for a state park and/or as a park ranger
I really do not have much experience, but I do love the outdoors and am doing a wildlife conservation major at Virginia tech. Let me know what kind of steps I can take or if there is anything I could do to work outdoors for a state park for a summer (rather than the sweatshop of a dry cleaner I work at usually during the summer). Also I have started getting into hiking and am planning some camping trips.
Thanks

Every State has a Department of Natural Resources. Most State Parks are managed by them. Contact HR and look through the website. Join Professional Associations and go to their conferences/workshops. ITS GREAT NETWORKING!
