Do I need to go to school or have experience to do forestry?

Do all the workers have to put out fires? Can you work only during certain seasons?

Is it worth the pay if you have no experience (so they will pay you less)?

Is it worth doing just to try if you don’t want an entire career out of it?

>Do I need to go to school or have experience to do forestry?
No, but you'll be apply against people that do have those. I applied to be a Park Ranger and couldn't even get that.
>Do all the workers have to put out fires? Can you work only during certain seasons?
From what they told me in the interview, most of the work is firefighting. Year round work, at least in my case it was.
>Is it worth the pay if you have no experience (so they will pay you less)?
According to the interview, the state sets the salary for the position and experience/college doesn't matter. It also pays about the same as working at McDonalds or Walmart.
>Is it worth doing just to try if you don’t want an entire career out of it?
That's all I wanted to do, but I didn't get the job. The interview made it pretty appealing as a career though even with the shit pay, mostly all the government benefits and how quickly you can "finish your service" and retire.

No, but you usually have to have your 64 hour class or whatever the fuck it is now. There are seasonal positions but you have to worry about getting a call back next season, and you'll probably be stringing Christmas lights or some bullshit in the off season.
>Is it worth the pay if you have no experience (so they will pay you less)?
No, not unless you do something moderately important and even then it's not great, but damn is it fun.
>Is it worth doing just to try if you don’t want an entire career out of it?
If you can get in, fuck yeah. What you do on the fire line will be your baseline work ethic for the rest of your life. A hand crew on the fire line is probably one of the hardest jobs out there. Best job I ever had.

Did you literally go to one interview?

No, it sucks and it doesn't pay anywhere close to livable wage.
