Hey, fellas. I've a question for the foresters.

Question being, I've sturdily decided to remove myself from the utterly useless world of my country's academics and quit University in exchange for professional education in an /out/-related field.

Now, it's not one of those "boohoo /out/, gimme job" threads. I've done my research on my local education programs, found decent ones and my number one thus far is the position of a Forester. Now, according to the program, what the position entails is the management of woodland resources, preparation and oversight of timber-cutting works (Dunno how to say that in English), and other field-related tasks that require you to be on the spot, likely following/assisting the Forestry-Engineer in the pre-formed plan.

Not the greatest performance explanation-wise.

What I really want to know from you guys who happen to work in this field, what's it really like? How good does work come? What are my perspectives of doing the same work in other countries besides mine?

I live in Georgia (the country, not the state), and I'd really like to continue this work somewhere else as well (most likely Russia).
