How to Adapt my Plan to Outdoor Education?
I know what I want; I want all the "paper benefits" (a major reason why I chose the teacher route) as I call them, I want to work away from the cities & have the space to just breathe (a deciding factor on why I'm currently working towards being a seasonal forest ranger in WA or OR), & I want to earn above the costs of living so I can afford to build personal gardens, library/collections, go camping & on long drives, etc. Knowing this is what I want &/or need personally helps me filter out a metric ton of options. How I'm currently working towards that; I'm enrolled in Job Corps of the PNW. I came here for the forestry experience & to network with Forestry Services when possible. I'll be working here for hopefully two years, so that I'll be qualified to be an entry-level forest ranger in WA & OR. I'm also redeveolping many soft skills & rebuilding my character while I'm here. After I've completed my two years here, I'm going to a community college in WA or OR for an AAS in Early Childhood Education so I'll be a teacher during the school year, & a forest ranger in the summers. This way I can be paid to live in the woods & work in nature. Ideally, I'll work or apprientice in the forestry-niche through college to maintain knowledge/skills & currency. If I enter Outdoor Education & stay for a career, I want to have the 40hr-week, "paper benifets," & still have the occasional vaccation for my camping time. Ideally, I'll want to work in an outdoor school, with similar school-breaks as public schools do, but I've no idea what the mimimual requirements for that generally is, & I'm unwilling to do an actual bacholor's unless it's within my industry that I've stayed in & require further education to advance in.
