Hey /out/ I’m kinda new to this thread and need some help. I was wondering if there really is any good /out/ jobs that allow me to preserve wildlife and hunt predators and invasive species. Or am I just a delusional goof and they just don’t exist?

what you are describing exists, but you wont really be hunting predators or anything. there are lots of conservation/invasive species management jobs but its mostly plants; recording and cataloging invasive species of an area and then going through and removing them. or checking boats for mussels and such

if you just want to be paid to kill things i hear they have a big hog problem in arkansas

No but your inability to use internet search tools makes me think you might not be cut out for any task more difficult than pot washing. Why not do some basic research on your own and come back with an actually question instead of
>hur dur hey /out/ I didn't lurk at all and want you to spoon feed me basic info.

USDA APHIS Wildlife Services is what you're looking for, though having worked for them it's a shit show, even more so than the Forest Service or anyone in the Interior. Also depredation of predators is generally a stupid concept.

I am not OP but am in a somewhat similar position.

I have a background in environmental construction and sediment & erosion materials and want to make my lifestyle fully /out/

I am still young enough that my body is fresh and I wisely (in retrospect) put off college til I figured out what to do in life. I enjoy working outdoors, even when it's 15 degrees out. I love using my hands and the smells of fresh woods and earth.

I love to read and am not opposed to schooling if it would help me, but really I want to figure out ways to work outside and significantly increase my meager 14/hour wage

If I had to list my perfect-world-fantasy /out/ jobs I'd probably say something like - poaching interdiction unit, safari ranger, paid tracker, etc.

I know those sound silly and not glamorous but I already break my back doing manual labor, why not make a bit more and get something personal out of it?

This seems like the perfect place to ask about becoming a park ranger. For the smaller parks around my area i don't need a background in environmentalism or any sort of degree higher than a HS diploma or POST certification. I've been wanting to be a ranger since i left high school but lost track of that dream, if you can call it that, when i went to college to appease my parents and now at 30 im tired of alternating between factory and desk jobs that don't last longer than a few months or years at the most.
Is being a park ranger worth it? I heard it's mostly helping police the drunks around the lakes and such or sometimes debris removal which is fine by me, but the paperwork i could live without.
Still anyone have any advice on this particular profession? I'm going for information on POST tomorrow but i appreciate any advice/info you guys can give me.

I dream of living as a kind of hobo while writing books to earn some money. Alternatively some based outdoors job that isn't too hard and doesn't give me tons of money + writing. How realistic is it to ever acheive anything near to that? What do I have to do to get there?

Park ranger for something big like yosemite or the grand canyon

By the way, outdoor jobs aren't limited to the forest in the boonies, the coastal shores seem comfy too. Mountains are cool also

I wasnt saying I have a lack of options, im just looking for new /out/ locations and general recommendations in my area anon. For example we have our two deserts in Sask and the Cypress Hills area down south is really interesting, so I was just wondering if there was anything around our area that I dont know about yet. Meadow Lake isnt too bad, Ive found a more than a few really nice spots and frequently take advantage of all the surrounding crown land but I do /mu/sic shit for a living though and am looking to move to a city as soon as possible for obvious reasons, but I will miss how easy it is to head innawoods here compared to any city really
