What if I graduated from a four-year university but in liberal arts? Can I take a certification exam online and enter that way? Long story short, the outdoors has always been my passion but I made a horrible choice in college to follow a different passion that leads to nowhere. I want to make it right and go into something where I can, as he said, be out in and care for God's creation.

[@JoeZorzin]

It all depends on where you live- which country or state or province. In most of America you'll need a college degree. There are some 2 year forestry schools (like Paul-Smith in up state New York) but most now are 4 year (BS) degrees. Since you have a degree you could go for a masters. I know of a forester who got a BA in liberal arts- then went to Cornell in western New York state for a masters in forestry. In most states you'll need to get a license or registration to work as a "professional forester". I've been a forester in Massachusetts for 47 years. You'll get a lot of exercise and have some great moments out there but forget about making a lot of money.

[@JoeZorzin]

@Masuma Sultana Overall, pretty good. It's a very healthy job. I've walked thousands of miles. If I had gotten a government job- I would have made more money but I didn't want to work in government or a big company so I've been a "consulting forester" for private forest owners. I've had a lot of down time due to bad weather and other reasons which gave me a lot of time to read, watch movies, travel, visit friends, etc. But I'm still working at 70 because I can't afford to retire.

[@JoeZorzin]

@Masuma Sultana Masuma, just curious but are you a Turk? I've watched a lot of Turkish movies on Netflix in recent years. My favorites were "Magnificent Century" and "Yunus Emre".

[@jorgevega5627]

Joseph Zorzin define alot of money

[@JoeZorzin]

@@jorgevega5627 The job of "professional forester" is a middle class job. Which is not a lot of money compared to many other professions- but the work is a lot more enjoyable.

The world needs to expand existing animal habitats on both land and in the oceans by 100x. Too much development of the land is taking away animal and natural habitats and too much fishing and netting is destroying and depleting the ocean. The human population has doubled since 1980s and it is continuing to grow out of control at a logarithmic rate. See the world population websites if you don't agree. Our planet has not grown to adjust to the human growth, so we as humans must learn how to balance our population and our dedicated land for Farming and living for humans, and habitats for animals. We must do this now before it is too late, and the passage of time and human greed erases all animal and natural habitats. Most people are narrow minded and think we can just live together however man in most all scenarios destroy habitats so there is no living together side by side. Natural and animal habitats must be protected and increased in size or the only animals we will have left are on farms and zoos.
