Forestry is a great career. I graduated from Auburn several years ago with a forestry degree in a class of about 30 people. Every single person had a job lined up before graduation. I can't think of many other majors that can say that.
i'm from Europe/Poland and i gradueted forestry. I love to learn about it. I was corious how is it looking in the new world and i can say it's closly related. And i think this is awsome. Also it is hard to find job as a forester in my homeland, even thow that 1/3 of Poland is forested area. I was working also in germany as worker to do cleanings for newly reforested area but i think can do much better as forester who is menaging stateowned forest. I am still waithing to start my 1 year intership as a forester. I already heve some practis as student/apprentice. I even made a cours for lumerjack... I just love nature. who knows mybe US... Nahhh I love my carpathian moutains
I've been considering going into forestry because I love nature and taking care of it, but not sure if it a secure job nor really if it has decent pay.
me too
It depends on what type of forestry job you want to do, as their are so many options. I am in the process of getting my associates in Forest Technology and have interned and worked under a few different companies. If you go into the procurement side of forestry, then you are likely to make decent money. I was making $18.00 an hour as a Raw Materials Intern at a really good forest products company, they also provided great benefits. But it also comes with a lot of stress, as I am sure other careers similar to this field do.
Pay is kinda shit, but the jobs usually makeup in benefits and the enjoyment
Fire side / firefighting is gunna make the best money I think
The pay is really really bad.
Thanks for this! I’m going back to get my second bachelors in forestry next year.
That is awesome to hear. Best of luck!
Would love to work in forestry but it seems very specialized. No money and no jobs.
I'm finnaly going back to school and am reaching for my bachelor's degree in forestry here in Arizona
Awesome to hear!
Always wanted to pursue forestry but it doesn't seem to have good pay or benefits
Currently i am doing bsc forestry in nepal .. but i don't think there is any scope of it.. so which country is best to get job in this field?
New Zealand
I love forestry, just recently earned a bacherlors degree in forestry in Germany. I‘m planning on doing a masters degree too. I don‘t want to stay in Germany, but I guess it‘ll be really difficult to get a Job in the US. Any thoughts?
Seasonal jobs are plentiful. Permanent full time jobs are hard to come by for Caucasian males
Congrats on your degree. If you are interested in a particular city, you might want to contact the state forest department or a forest products company there.Talking to those who work in forestry directly is always a good place to start!
@@stevenburkhardt1963 why is it harder for white males to get a job?
Is it possible to a forest engineer from Turkey come and work in United States? (With 2 years of forest fire experience, one year of silviculture and one year of forest industry experience)
Are there scholarships for interested international students?
You can find more information about Forestry programs with Oregon State University and Black Hills State University on their websites!

@@wetheforest thanks
Why is it not called ''DeForestry''. It seems mostly deforestation...

You're dumb bro
Don't Cry. The whole Natural Resource field went from requiring an Associates Degree to now requiring a Masters Degree. Really?? Most of the jobs except for those in research, don't really require anything more than an Associates Degree. 15 - 20 years ago, you only had to be a high school graduate with a year or two of experience to become an Area Wildlife Manager. Has the work really changed that much to require a Masters Degree? I can see someone with a Masters running a farm tractor, planting food crops, on a fire line, fighting forest fires, using chain saws doing habitat improvement, after putting in 6 years in College, and spending $100.000 just to do manual labor. Really??
Professional foresters with BS degrees supervise the field going people.
That's why I changed my major from Wildlife Science to forestry. Hardly any decent jobs in wildlife unless you have a masters. A forestry masters is seen as nearly useless unless you're specializing in business/finance or are planning to do research.
Well I’m very excited to announce that I will be joining the ranks in the work to maintain and conserve our natural resources 🏔️🌊🌲
