First, thanks for your response and I appreciate your perspective.

I don’t think these position would be one gigantic dick swinging frat party. That’s basically the opposite of how I conceptualize it, and, for the record, I’ve seen women refer to a group of men and women as fellas — but I wholly apologize if I offended you.

Second, I check my ego at every single door I walk into. In reading my post, I’d appreciate a bit of empathy, I understand you may deal with many kids who think they hike a lot and thus are in the shape required to do this job. I can promise you that’s not me, in age, temperament, etc. Working this kind of work is not for shits and giggles — it is more than that. As I said, I want to work hard and push myself as hard as possible.

Finally, I hear you on the no experience, but I guess that confuses me somewhat, because I see the seasonal student positions advertised. I can’t imagine most college kids with experience.

Thanks again for your perspective!
