How are some good ways to get into conservation internships in Northeast Texas?
Hello, I am an undergrad biology student at TAMUT. I am pursuing a Bachelor's of Environmental Biology degree. My top goal is to try and land a job as a Wildlife or Fisheries Biologist for a state or federal agency. Unfortunately, that requires a degree in conservation for most of those agencies, which then requires me to pursue a graduate degree since a BS Biology will not cut it for most agencies. These positions also requires job and internship experience. For about a year, I have been searching for internships from the agencies in the Texarkana region, but the very few internships or entry level jobs I find are always several hours away. I am a volunteer for Texas Parks and Wildlife, but that will not help me land a career later down the line I am told. Does anybody have advice or resources?
