Where do you work?
 

I'ma freshman here at the University of WI-Stevens Point, and i just got done talkin to a buddy of mine down at Madison and we're both pretty unsure of what we want to do when we grow up, if we grow up. I'm headin in the direction of forest management and he's into ag business, but we were throwin around the idea of tryin to get a huntin show goin after college. I was just wonderin if any of you guys and gals have jobs that allow you ample time to hunt, or get you into the outdoors every so often. anybody here workin with a dnr or fish and game department sort of job? just thought this would make for some interesting conversation while i wait very impatiently for WI's gun opener... only 11 more days!

I spent most of the last 25 years in the Navy. Certainly gave me a great opportunity to see many places I would not have seen otherwise. It did impact the hunting, however. Now I work for a GPS software company. I mostly do cartography and help with the software development. I also do a lot of testing. This is a great reason to get out and hunt!

RE: Where do you work?
 

Great idea for a thread. I am also in college and would like to know what people do and if their jobs afford them the time to get into the woods. More responses please.

You know why adults are always asking kids what they want to be when they grow up? The adults are looking for ideas.

I'm an LPN with a month left in school for my RN. Being a nurse affords me many opportunities. They need nurses everywhere. You can work nights, evenings, days, 8 or 12hour shifts,etc. I plan on moving to East Central Ohio just for the better hunting opportunities than where I'm currently living at (Northwest Ohio).

I work in IT for a financial software company. I get off of work early our family farm is only 8 miles from my house, so I used to have plenty of time to hunt. Now that I have a 6 month old son, he takes up most of my free time. I don't mine skipping the woods to hang out with him though. I'm looking forward to teaching him. That being said, I have all next week off for rifle season and will be leaving work early on Friday for one last afternoon with my bow! :)

To this day I cannot remember how I chose this profession, but I am an accountant. I worked for a public accounting firm for four years and resigned this summer to allowmyself more time to hunt.I now work for a private company, still as an accountant, but I have plenty of time to hunt on the weekends. You are headed in the right direction with forest management/agriculture if you are looking to spend some serious time outdoors.

I work as an outside salesman in theIndustrial Electrical Engineering field. PLENTY of time to "work outdoors". "meetings", "calling on customers in remote locations (near hunting camp)", "phone doesn't work in certain locations". Not something I recommend to a rookie trying to get away with. Learn to work hard and then you can play hard!
