>>1959419>I'm thinking of getting a degree in forestry. Is it worth it or is that a useless degree?It's a genuinely interesting time to get onboard.
All sorts of new tech on the way, especially with mechanised steep slope work.
I work in a support industry and there's all sorts of cool shit being worked on at the moment.
Think along the lines of GPS, RFID, AI camera stuff, and this sucker below.
Surprising amount going on in New Zealand actually - you could probably put your degree to use here and have a great time doing awesome /out stuff in your spare time.
Nowhere in the country is more than an hour or two away from something great. (Except Auckland. It'll take you that long to get out of town.)
