Martha’s Answer

What an interesting question, Cayman! This is difficult to answer for two reasons:
1) There are many different types of ranger jobs, from being an interpreter at historical park sites to more isolated jobs in national parks. Also, national ranger jobs may differ from state ones.
2) My idea of hard may differ from yours.

Please review the links below for more detail on the different types of jobs. Since you said you are very social, you may prefer the jobs in which you interact more with people, such as giving tours, welcoming to the site, and educating students on class trips. You may also want to focus on historical sites (also part of the national park service) which tend to have more of these programs.

Good luck!
