Man I loved this video! I'm graduating with a Bachelor's in Natural Resource Tourism in 3 months and have no clue what to do! Gave me some great insight!
Graduating with my masters soon. Thank you so much for the info, itโs very motivating! Job searching is daunting but I donโt want to give up on my dream of doing impactful work for the environment.
I worked for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and now the National Park Service as a botanist. Covid issues with the parents forced me to leave the FWS and I wish I could go back. The FWS is super chill and puts wildlife and habitat first although botanist positions are rare and they are not funded as well. The NPS is far too bureaucratic, and visitors are priority over the environment, but they at least try. I would never work for the Bureau of Land Management (aka The Bureau of Livestock and Mining). Their priority is sucking up to ranchers and mineral extraction companies. The result is millions of acres of trashed out public lands and you will spend your entire time there cleaning up their messes or locked in litigation from natural resource non-profits.
I'm starting my bachelor's program next week! I'm super nervous, but your videos give me great insight into the job market. Thank you, and please, keep doing what you're doing!
What an awesome channel!! This would have been EXTREMELY helpful to me a year ago, but I still find it very informative. ๐๐ผ
Doesn't have to be for federal gov jobs , but would be super helpful to see a video on jobs can land with an environmental science Associates degree . While continuing education toward bachelors. Cheers!

Omg thank you for the insight of what it is like to be in NRM!
Really looking into goin back to school for Range Management. Lots of jobs in my region for that. Still gonna try to apply since I do have some experience working with livestock and one of my hobbies is literally just going out and identifying plants on the shrub-steppe habitat. Either way this seems like my dream job.
Thank you for explaining these different careers
Thanks for making this video, Iโm in college still but this helped
Thank you for sharing. Loved the added humor.
Thank you for the wonderful video. I just subscribed ๐๐๐โค
I'm looking to go back to school to finish my bachelors in the near future. I've been working seasonal jobs for the past 1 1/2 years, part of that as an interpretive guide in Montana. I'd really love to spend my future in ecological restoration (specifically reforestation) and potentially as an interpretive ranger. My question for you is, what degree is best suited for that line of work?
Can you do one for people who want to be conservation biologist and want to work with animals specifically wild animals
Hello! This video was really helpful as Iโve been trying to dig up some information on what kind of conservation jobs are out there. Iโm transferring to a 4 year from community college and am super torn between going to Berkeley for a degree in conservation and resource studies BS or going to UC Davis for environmental horticulture and urban forestry (though once I get to Davis I would have the opportunity to bounce around majors quite a bit like plant science or fish/wildlife conservation etc). Iโm really unsure of my career path but am honestly just interested in working hands on and enacting some change and restoring/conserving land/animal populations/ water/soil etc. I was wondering what degree/school you think would be more useful in the long run since Berkeley is a big name but Davis primary focus is agriculture and conservation type learning. Sorry thing is a mouthful anything helps, thanks!
Hey Danny, I'm actually a UK national looking to move to the states to work in conservation. I have 6 years experience as an Ecological consultant/wildlife biologist in the UK as well as a BSc and MSc by research. I have no idea how to go about making the move as I don't know which organisations would take an international. Is this something you have advice on ? Love the videos!
Working on my Agriculture degree right now while Iโm in the navy. Hoping to become a range technician when I separate and finish up my degree.
