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.

What is the daily life of working on a logging crew?

I am interested in working on a logging crew, but I am worried about the daily life. Do these people typically get to come home every night, or do they just live on site the whole time? Is there really any educational requirements after a high school diploma? Are there any special licenses that I will need to get? #forestry
