Fisheries and Wildlife...ES? Natural Resources?

I really need to finish my degree. I have taken a long break since having kids 3-5 and I am determined to finish my degree now. I would like a degree where I could work part time outside (like for parks, etc.) or to teach at colleges part time. I am a huge environmentalist and wildlife lover. I spent half my life growing up camping. I would like to do something with this. But I would really prefer a hands on, mostly outdoors job.

 

All three of these are options to me. I only have one bio class left and then the core credits (I was mostly Pre-med). I can finish this all online and so that is not a problem. But does anyone know someone with these majors and can tell me likely job opportunities or, well, anything? I'm leaning away from ES because I want less theoretical research and more hands on with nature. :D

Yes, my youngest wants to be a marine biologist, I try to temper him with the idea of picking some other major up that will improve his job chances. Wildlife is not a good career field.

 

You might be better if you need money to do some kind of medical lab work. Or physical therapy.

 

BUT check your local job market it that is where you are going to look for work. Find out what is available.

We will have to move no matter what. There are no jobs here. I used to be a lab tech, and I don't want to again. I like working places where am outside, or at least have windows. ;). PT is something I considered, but I need a part time program and the aren't any PT programs at all within 3+ hours of here.

 

Why is wildlife not a good career field?
