District Park Ranger for the county. Just got promoted from Park Ranger and am pushing more paper and bits and bytes, but hopefully that will slow down if I get some staff. Then back to everything from welding to cleaning toilets to dealing with annoying kids at skateparks! Hmmm, I never go to parks on my day off...

AMink, you have my Dream job. Park Ranger, I'd gladly sell my house and take a huge salary cut to work in one of the great parks out west



I work as an Electrical Engineer in the standby power generation industry. Master Electrician by trade. Apprenticeship school teacher at night.

If I were just starting out again, I'd look in Oregon. Their state park system is HUGE! Probably hire a ton of seasonal workers, then maybe you could move up. Turnover in full time park ranger jobs is very minimal, IME. And, you could hang out with the NW Bombers!

EEKs, theres that Lineman work again, thats some serious stuff.

Ah, it's not that bad Steve. The low voltage stuff(120v-480v) is worse than the high voltage stuff. If you ever get hit with 345kv you'd never feel it anyway.



Good luck to you Chris! Best career choice I've ever made.
