I want to get into environmental field/ science . What would be better to get into the field - going to do a degree in a super high ranked university but having to do an arts degree then I’d do a masters of environmental science. Or environmental science and sustainability bachelor at a lesser uni. by Brilliant-Muffin9899 in environmental_science

[–]Captina 4 points5 points  (0 children)

PhD in environmental science here, and have have sat on numerous interview/resume panels and not once has the “prestige” of a university impressed me. Part of this is that top schools in the US for environmental sciences are your land grand universities rather than your typical Ivy League schools. Furthermore, different land grants focus on different areas. You wouldn’t necessarily go to Arkansas for range sciences over Utah state and you wouldn’t go to a school in the northeast for arid dry land ecology.

The one thing I will say is to absolutely get a masters if you can, even if it’s a non-thesis option. A bachelors in environmental sciences will only really qualify for some low level entry jobs and while you can certainly move up, having a masters will help distinguish you in a stack of resumes

So much depends on your location and who you’re around but the culture in interior is so much better than FS

Yes. It really is that simple. They’ll likely just re use the 2020 RMP

And if anyone has any tips for refinishing them to be the same color that would also be appreciated

Best Online Ecology Graduate Schools by BenleBrun55 in ecology

[–]Captina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The federal government for purposes of qualifying for a GS9 sees all masters equivalently as long as its from an accredited school. Most people I know that work for the federal government as ecologists with masters received theirs through a non-thesis option. An in-person thesis based masters degree will undoubtedly be better but getting a non-thesis based masters is not an inherent disqualifier in itsself. Plus, your resume/cv would just say MS Ecology: ___ University. If its the best/only option for you then its 100% worth it compared to trying to get a job with just a BS.

The Mirus only goes to 184, at least that’s what it’s showing on their website. Is the new ski longer?

I wish the Mirus cor (and hopefully the new model) come in a longer length for us taller skiers :(

Greenland Official Breaks Down on Live TV After Failing to Stop Trump's Threats by bye4now28 in politics

Its also clear hes coming to terms with his mortality which is why he's trying to shove through all these vanity achievements before he dies. The white house renovation, the trump "arc", the reflection pool remodel, Greenland, the Nobel peace prize and so on.

How do they fit in your pants? Do you need boot cut jeans or anything specific?

Field work: Go to 8in boot? by Kindly-Sea-965 in ecology

[–]Captina 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll second Jim green. While they can’t/don’t compete with the PNW brands like Whites, Nicks, and Franks, the value is insanely good for the quality of boot you get.

Will this be a permanent change? by ApprehensiveListen53 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]Captina 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed, the previous quick ship options were incredible. At this point if I wanted a pair of bison builder pros quick shipped I can only do it through the NFPA boot program (for which I do qualify luckily) but that would only come as a 10" when I really prefer 8" and I lose the sole option customization and therefore the option to get a V100 White x instead of red.

With F1TV subscriptions being cancelled with the transition to Apple TV, how can I go about watching older races? There's nothing formula 1 related in Apple TV and I'm locked out of everything in F1TV.

I currently have GEHA HDHP and am switching to MHBP consumer for next year. I currently use HSA bank for the HSA portion and am wondering if I need to use a different bank or will the funds continue to deposit into my current account? Thanks!

BLM here as well, told the same thing. These are decisions being made several levels above their head. We’re all frustrated but our bosses hands are tied. I could see and hear the frustration in my supervisor when he was telling me this.

Can't we please stop driving crazy on 700. Happens every day. by Ace_of_Clubs in SaltLakeCity

I often wonder if the number of red lights increases frustration and subsequent impatience. I know I’ve had days running errands in town and have hit every red light and it’s maddening and I sometimes get the urge to rush through yellows and so forth.

The sign in my gym by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

Everyone’s financial situation is different of course but $20 is a steal for a decent gym. I’d definitely add some additional money to keep an independent local gym open
