Jim,
Below are some job opportunities in an area that may be overlooked by many
FW students but may be of interest. As a past FW student I took part in this
program and enjoyed it. The student trainee position would give experience
with a federal agency that could expose students to situations such as
addressing on farm issues such as soil erosion, manure management, and
pesticide use. Many counties also deal with lots of wetland restorations,
tree & shrub plantings, and native warm season grass plantings. The major
focus in most counties is agriculture related but wildlife habitat
management is also quite common. The position would allow students to be
exposed to many natural resources topics, some contract management, and ARC
GIS. I'm not sure if you already get NRCS jobs from someone or if this is of
interest but I thought that in this day and age the more job opportunities
the better. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
