>What do you think of the Forest Service, or other Department of Agriculture jobs? >firelots of mickey mouse bullshit but fundamentally a pretty easy path to a stable innawoods career with decent but not great compensation if you're willing to live or at least work long hours in BFE. Becomes dramatically more competitive if you're looking for a desirable duty station (and the compensation is a lot worse if COL is high). Hard on family life.
>non-fireeither pretty much the same as any other .gov job with the same description (-ologists, administrators) or fun but about as good a career path as writing poetry (trails, wilderness, some rec)
>I'm at a point where I would almost prefer being on hitch 24/7.I know the feeling, but 1) you probably shouldn't plan on feeling that way forever or even for an entire season and 2) your coworkers will probably get on your nerves after a while, if not here than in other jobs
but you might take a look at CCC backcountry trails. I kinda regret not doing it before I aged out.
