Jax’s Answer

Park Ranger or Trail Guide are good ideas, though not as high paying as engineering!

Even working as an Arborist or 'treeman' (foliage management) has its perks and pays fairly well, but the locations you'd find yourself in can't be beat.

Tina’s Answer

A great area to think about for your future studies would be engineering. There are so many different areas of study for engineering and some of these fields such as mechanical or structural engineering would be working with processes outside where you can enjoy the freedom of working outside of an office but also building things. Every business just about has some aspect of engineering that is involved for that business to prosper from farms to high rise office buildings.

Jerod’s Answer

I'll second Jax's answer. Park Ranger would be a great career. Sometimes it's not about the starting salary but more so, the benefits and retirement.

Dr. LaShanda’s Answer

If outdoor is a passion, I would recommend careers in Conservation. There are youth centered programs that provide a headstart into a long term careers in Conservation with groups such as National Park Services, Wildlife and Fisheries, etc...

An organization I recommend to start gaining experience with is the Student Conservation Association. They post paid and stipend positions for youth age 15-20.
