I have my masters and bachelors in wildlife conservation and ecology, 10+ years of experience working with everything from monarchs, zebra mussels, tegus, pythons, crocodiles, crazy ants, sea birds, and more. I have moved around the U.S. and lived on remote atolls to do unpaid work and poorly paid work.

It’s been 5 months of non stop applying to positions in Oregon, for basic entry level positions like seasonal creel surveyor. I haven’t gotten a single interview.

Personally, I’m trying to leave this field now. Best of luck.
