If the idea of working all day in an office sounds
confining, and you’d rather envision yourself working in the great outdoors,
check out the following viable career options.
Park Ranger: An abundant number of national, state, and
local parks employ park rangers. Rangers
perform a variety of roles and tasks, but their overarching responsibility is
to protect the park and keep its visitors safe.
Park rangers may also educate visitors about the park’s natural
resources, be responsible for enforcing park laws or assisting in emergency
response and rescue park situations.
This is a profession that places you at the heart of nature.
Botanist: If you
find it interesting to study plants and their role in a particular ecosystem,
the field of botany might be for you.
Botanists do lab research, but they also spend a good part of their
careers working outdoors. Botanists can
find jobs in the government, academic, and private sectors.
Travel Writer or
Photographer: Combine a passion for
travel and writing or photography into a career as a travel writer or
photographer. Share, through words,
pictures and assignment guidelines, the cultural and educational experiences
you encounter while traveling. Travel
writers and photographers are often contracted on a freelance basis and their
work may be published in various online or offline media, such as newspapers,
magazines, or blogs.
Groundskeeper: A groundskeeper maintains the outdoor
properties for public or private institutions.
Groundskeepers may be employed, for example, to maintain the grounds of
a public park, golf course, athletic complex, cemetery, or school campus. These grounds might involve maintaining
grass, sand, ponds, artificial turf, or other surfaces. Duties may involve mowing and trimming,
maintaining irrigation systems, controlling weeds and insects, and various
other tasks.
Next time you’re in the great outdoors, take a look around
to see if there are any potential great outdoor job opportunities that may be a good match for you.
