What students love

This area of work honestly seems amazing, and I live in Canada with some amazing forests to work with. I need to research more, but I think I want to pursue this further. Kinda excited!

This was so helpful, I’m graduating with an environmental science degree and ecological conservation and I want to go into forestry and this was so helpful.

Just applied as a forestry aid. Really hoping to hear back. If they don't, I'm not giving up, I really think this is my calling. I'm 34, done a few different careers and never satisfied. I think this is the key.

This really helps, thank you. I would love an in-depth video or more videos to help, but I definitely have a basis to go off thanks to you.

As someone who just got an associate in environmental science and is looking for work, knowing even a little bit more about the resume and interview process is a great help. Thank you.

I was wondering if you had any more info on the invasive removal summer jobs. That one struck my interest and I was wondering if I could do that while I'm in college. Also great video. These are all so helpful.

Hello! Just wanted to let you know that I find your videos very helpful and down to earth. I hope you make more!

What could be better

Forestry doesn’t pay as much as it should unless you plan on doing Private Timber Harvesting for a company. It’s really a shame.

Right now the Forest Service is a mess with hiring.

You don't want a Forest Service job anymore, the agency has deteriorated and is top-heavy. You work yourself nearly to death for very little. The stress level is draining and the drama is never-ending.

Like everything else in America, you need to pay a college tens of thousands of dollars otherwise you're not qualified. Forestry jobs were around long before colleges were required.

Biggest mistake people make getting into Forestry is thinking about babysitting Bambi. You don't become a logger by getting a Forestry education.

Not enough money, I quit and started working for utilities instead of fighting fire.

Biden created a cult by requiring a fascist totalitarian vaccine mandate and firing those who didn't agree with him. I'd love to work in forestry services but I will not be coerced into vaccine mandates.
