[QUOTE="Scottytuned, post: 1203882, member: 87569"] I tell students not to get caught up in the salary when looking at things to do. I'm a firm believer you can make a living-wage on most collegiate degrees. It may mean starting off low, but you can always work up if you have the skill sets developed. The example I like to give is people who start of doing sanitation riding a truck, picking up trash cans on a daily basis. Parlay that knowledge of waste management and a degree into an EPA certification job for a fortune 500 you could make six figures pretty easy. Now that isn't possible with all degrees, but advancement and vertical movement is possible in most industries such that you can enjoy a comfortable life. Finding the passion is half the battle, and I think you are on a good track looking into things that blend love of outdoors. Things I would recommend personally: Agribusiness - specifically commodity and futures trading on crop prices. You'll have a desk, but also the opportunity to get out and see the farms/crops as well. LOTS of money there. Wildlife Biology - Wide variety of areas including research, foundation work (NWTF, Pheasant Forever, etc), food plot/plant specialist, even game garden positions Criminal Justice - Game warden Business - I normally don't recommend it a lot since it can be too generic, but you could turn this into real estate. Work for a company like Whitetail Properties selling and buying farms, ranches, and other recreational properties for others. Would give an opportunity to check out what is new, and also look for investment opportunities on your own. Plus there are tons of others I could recommend. Definitely a lot out there. [/QUOTE]
