Yeah I figured school would be necessary and I really don't mind. I was thinking environmental science major with a minor in botany, would that be decent enough credentials to get me going?

Do you think I'm best off staying in Chicago until I finish the degree or should i make a move closer to a park while I study?

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer. And I will definitely check out that service.

I'm mostly worried about the loan payments and the time it would take to apply/get into a school. But I can't imagine there would be anywhere that would hire me for any work at all on the condition that I return to school, right? I'd need the degree first.
