Summer Jobs

Yeah, there's a foot of snow out there, so it's a great time to look for a summer job. The Department of Interior has a bunch of jobs available in the west. Most are in BLM areas or National Parks. I'm talking a lot of wilderness. Many jobs include Park Ranger, Firefighter, Range Tech, Recreation Tech, Forestry Tech Maintenance Worker, etc.

Most are temporary, 1,000 hours or so, and the pay is $10-20 per hour, but they could lead to a permanent job, a better location, or some nice savings for you. Many jobs are in Colorado, California, and Montana, and don't require Bachelor's degrees: http://jobsearch.usajobs.gov/Channel...Jobs&pg=1&re=3 My first jobs out of college were temp jobs with the Interior Dept. working in northern California and just east of Yellowstone. I only got $5/hr, but they were so much fun, I would have paid $5/hr to do them.
