What are five things I ought to know for sure about, like the schedule or the pay?

Hello, my name’s Jesse, thank you for checking out this question. I’m over at Pine Knot Job Corps, in Kentucky, as a student in Urban Forestry. I’m hoping that by talking to someone, I can better understand this trade, or at least learn more about it. I’d like to ask someone about what I’m going into and get their insights on it. #career #urbanforestry
