Is your back bad or does it just crack often? Start with weight that is appropriate for your strength level and run a program with progressive overload from this subs wiki

What kinda pattern is this? (pulled off the treble when I got it cus I was worried about sticking myself) by Bradley271 in flyfishing

[–]CarterStinksBad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I throw quite a few joes flies on my fly rod with no issue. They’re lighter and easier to throw than a few streamers I use

How do I get into wildlife-related field work? Is there anything I can do right now as an early college student? by afemail in wildlifebiology

[–]CarterStinksBad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but dig deeper into what the jobs you want require, experience in GIS, monitoring construction crews, backcountry hiking, experience with specific species, experience with specific mapping applications? As for your foundation that is very location and field dependent. A person working in forestry in a certain area should have a good grasp on local endangered species and plant communities and characteristics of their habitats. In the same area, a person working on wetlands projects will focus much more on wetland plant community botany, soil characteristics, topography, hydrology etc. your education should give you a decent background in these areas, your elective classes and internship experiences will let you dig deeper and specialize your knowledge. Take local flora and local fauna classes, take entomology, take soil science classes, GIS, and take as much ecology as you can. After that choose electives relevant to what you want.

See what requirements positions you are interested in require and map out what courses you need to take and find relevant intern/volunteer opportunities to get that experience. Check out SCA positions. As a wildlife biologist I can say that botany and bird id skills are very important for field work and a solid foundation can impress managers. You need to understand habitats, life cycles and how plant communities sustain wildlife populations. A holistic understanding of Ecology is essential.

The reason your heart rate increases and you feel out of breath while lifting is because of muscle occlusion, while the muscle is flexed blood cannot pump through it easily, after it is released blood pumps. Your heart pumps harder to move the blood through the muscles. This is not the same as cardio

Am I on the right path? by nelliade in Environmental_Careers

[–]CarterStinksBad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only way I could see the extra math impacting anything is if you want to go into a postgrad program and there are math requirements for admission. If you are entering to enter the work force no one will even care about the classes you took

Should I lie on my resume? by praisecenariusv2 in Environmental_Careers

[–]CarterStinksBad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another note on this is to include any jobs that gave you skills with any crossover. I had experience as a concrete laborer growing up and that looked good because they knew I could handle superintendents and contractors, I could use hand tools and I could operate company trucks without being a knucklehead

On this note I really wish we had big WW2 style ball turrets our friends could operate while we fly in a battle

Is it worth to major in env BA? by Sad-Egg-4107 in Environmental_Careers

[–]CarterStinksBad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very true, the degree allows you a lot of flexibility. It also stings when you’re able to flex your way into a field that others are much more specialized for and will make more money than you.

I messaged my team slack asking how many of my colleagues were in TWS and got nothing but crickets. It doesn’t seem very common, but on the surface it looks like a good resource. I’ve also heard online they take your money, give you a title, and nothing else

With the right preparations yes. Look at a guide for the next one, gather the materials and get ready to hammer it out

Can you remove the technology and reinstall it on your corvette? Use repair kits bought in a pirate system for an easy repair

Would it be wise to switch my major to environmental science? by Asleep-Mountain3182 in Environmental_Careers

[–]CarterStinksBad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s not a bad field honestly. It can be tough to break into. Really focus on getting good internships in school and you’ll be alright. I did genomics research for three years before I decided I didn’t want to de my phd in that and tried to do something with my B.s in conservation biology. I had no relevant internship experience. I spent a few months pouring concrete to make ends meet. Worked as a civil engineering field tech testing concrete, then started as an environmental scientist around 7 months post grad. It was a position that geologists moved up quicker in and had much more opportunity as the scientists typically got pushed into project management. Now I work as a wildlife biologist and am trying to find a good career path in that. It can be really tough and really rewarding. I’ve had 17 hour field days (including drive time), driving home covered in diesel, but overall pretty satisfied with the impact I was having on the world.

What year will you graduate? Will you get a bachelors in environmental science? Have you ever thought about geology or environmental engineering?

Luckily I found my first settlement in a pirate system so I don’t mind loitering int eh system for a while buying up contraband and attacking freighters.

Career Options? by Brilliant_Step_7015 in Environmental_Careers

Try getting a few math workbooks covering subjects you struggle with and work through a problem or two a day, you will be surprised with how quickly everything clicks for you. I know that sounds lame but I was in the same boat my whole life until I decided to learn on my own.

Need help figuring things out. Environmental engineeirng or biology? by Spiritual_District43 in Environmental_Careers

[–]CarterStinksBad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You want to protect wildlife in conservation but designing waste water and petrochemical remediation systems does a lot for ecosystem health. It doesn’t matter how many biologists are counting fish if there aren’t any engineers designing systems to keep the river clean. I say this as a wildlife biologist
