don't take a job that will interfere with your hunting season. Alot of outdoor jobs seem to do this. Also most pay squat!

I graduated from Murray State University with at Bachelor of Science and was wanting to get into KDFW, that was until I learned what they made. That's why I'm running trains now for more than double the pay.

Check with your local DNR. They can fill you in on jobs and pay scale.

There are state and fed jobs in the outdoors, and no... they don't pay a lot. You get vacations and bennies and once you're in it's almost impossible to get fired. Depends on what you're looking for. It's a competitive business. Not a lot of slots and all that. Most require a college degree of some sort and still don't pay you much, especially starting out. Many .... MANY years ago when I sold my first business I thought I'd like to be a game warden. I was one of 700 that took the test at that time in Georgia for a handful of slots. I got accepted and was offered a job. Problem was, they wanted me to move even though there was a slot open where I lived. They wanted me to move to Savanah where I was told we helped with drug interdiction running etc. Well hell, I'd just survived 2 years in Vietnam not too many years earlier. I really didn't feel like taking up dodging bullets again. At the time they started you at $14,000. That was 1981.
