So I am getting close to getting my degree now, within a year and a half if I am able to stay motivated and get things done, and starting to look at jobs and careers that interest me. The jobs that interest me the most would require me to be outdoors and doing things in the mountains and forested lands around the country.
Unfortunately these jobs don't pay as well as the job that I am currently at, but they do have more options for advancement which would be a great benefit to me and my future family. Now I was thinking in order to set myself apart from the rest of the field and give myself the boost that is required to get one of these jobs would be getting my entry certification as a wildfire fighter.
So now that I am in the process of working towards finishing my degree I am thinking of taking a week long course at some point during the remaining schooling to get me the certification required to become a member of the forest service or a like-minded agency later on in life.
What do you all think? Is this something to look at or is it just another opportunity for me to waste money and prolong actually entering the work force?
