Cajunhunter (neighbor), I went to school at Nicholls State University in southern Louisiana (Cajun Harvard). If your son is interested in this field of study, tell him to go after a masters degree in wildlife management from LSU after he graduates with a BS in Biology/Environmental Science from an accredited university (there are many), then go to work for the US Fish and Wildlife Service (Federal). They make great money, but he has to be willing to relocate where he is needed most (like Alaska!). He can get his masters degree while working for the state wildlife and fisheries (LDWF), and gain the necessary experience that the USFWS requires. He needs to certify with the Civil Service Dept. to apply with the LDWF. He must be prepared for the Louisiana Civil Service professional level examination - not the easiest thing in the world to pass (I did the first time). He must score a 86 or higher on the test, have a BS in Biology, Chemistry, or Environmental Science, and go through a stringent interview process. If he meets the overwhelming requirements - he can be one of the proudest lowest paid state employees in the country[]. But, like stated before, it' s a labor of love. Good luck!
