How do I know if I am setting myself up for success when I don’t know what path I want to take?
I have been struggling for a while now of knowing what I need to do to succeed. Every time I ask someone about it, they give me a vague answer that doesn’t fully answer my question. It has been stressing me out because I just want to set my self up for a great future and I feel like it is really hard nowadays to know what to do.

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.

Hi, I am a high school senior and unsure of what I would like to do when I graduate. I am interested in many things such as specific trades and lots of outdoor activities. I'm unsure if I want to go to college, trade school, or neither. How should I go about deciding what I should do?
Some of my hobbies are going on bike rides, hiking, and listening to music. I am right now leaning towards going to trade school so my student loans wouldn't be as bad and I'm ready for a job instantly after completion. However, I'm still not really sure what I would like to do.

What jobs can I do outside and helping people?
Hello, I’m Naomi! I’m starting college next fall and am not completely sure about my future. I love being outdoors and helping people, but can’t take a lot of stress. I’m good at science and love drawing. I’ve worked in a program through my school with children outdoors at an park and while I don’t like children that much, I enjoyed working outdoors and running errands for the program. #college #career #outdoors #college-major #parks

How can I be sure I will get a job in the Wildlife and Fisheries career path when the job outlook is quite small?
Majority of the scientist jobs in the Wildlife and Fisheries pathway and Parks and Recreation are taken and not well funded to expand. Should I be worried about getting a job with these majors? #parkranger #outdoors #zoology #wildlife #fishery #outdoor-recreation
