Went to college for environmental engineering with the dream of being a squirrel cop in Mass. Talked to one from my hometown and he told me not to bother. Very few openings and getting one of the very few openings is extremely politically influenced. He told me to just become a State Trooper as they go through the same training, but staties make more, but they don't get the cool toys of the squirrel cops.
That being said, got a 97 on the last state exam and they just announced that they are going to start taking 97's and above, so my hopes might still be alive.
Been a bean counter for the past 5 years and HATE it. Benefits are great, especially with time off to fish and I'm inside driving a desk chair all day, but I'm sick of crunchin numbers.
I need a new job soon too.
My little brother just went through a carrer change of being a mechanic since he went through tech school, but now just got hired by our town's water department and got hired as a call fireman. He doesn't miss his hands being permanently grease stained.
Good luck to you in what way you go for.
