alright lets here what you all do for a living and what classes or courses are required to get into that career field. i was just thinkin today i really dont wanna know what i wanna do when i get out of high school. i got intrested in what Hawk was talkin about when he worked for the forest service and did the elk study.

I am currently active duty Air Force, working at the USAF Academy as a Network Administrator, but my actual title is Active Directory Configuration Management Technician. My AFSC is 3C071 if Communications-Computer Systems Operator. To get my job, obviously i had to go to BMT and complete technical training, although my first tech school was for Systems Analysis, i retrained in 2003 into my current career field.

1st go to college and get a degree, it will make a big diffrence in your pay over the years.
You may want to spend some time checking out the pay scale of outdoor jobs and jobs in Industry.

I do not advise doing things the way I did. 4 years Air Force, 5 years as a installer for a sign Company. 11 years as a plumber and the last 16 in a oil refinery. I'm currently a Shift Supperviser.

Teacher

Have a degree in PE, Health, and 1 class away from Special Ed. which I may never finish. Been teaching for 6 years.

But doubt I'll put in a full 30!

Well never went to college but what I know now you couldn't get in the school where I went. I am a mechanic,truck driver, welder well if it's broke I can usually fix it. Right now i'm in public works and really like my job gives me a lot of time off.

I'm a staff photographer for Playboy magazine, no, wait, that's my dream job. Actually I work on an assembly line, building high dollar RV's.

bigbuck92, it's never too early...or too late for that matter..to start lookin' at this and planning for the future.

As I stated before, I worked for the US Forest Service as a trail crew member before joining the service (No degree necessary for either of those two jobs). While in the service I earned my journeyman certifications in Meteorology and Oceanography. I am currently working on my BS in Natural Resource Management with a minor in Fish and Wildlife Management through Oregon State University. The best part, as an active duty member every class I take is FREE!

As for what I'll do when I retire in two years.....not sure yet. To be honest, I want a job that will not interfere with my hunting and fishing plans! I don't need a second career, just something to suppliment my retirement pay.

Im a Draftsman for probably the largetst Architect (as far as what we produce) here in Utah County.

I did the Associates in drafting from UVSC. And am currently working on maybe getting my own Architectural liscense.
