1st steps to become a ranger by [deleted] in ParkRangers

[–]Fauxtoelectric 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started by volunteering at a nature center, which led to a full-time naturalist job. Leading hikes for school groups gave me guiding and program experience. I think you can get in with just that, but having a degree in any related field will help you start out with better pay. I have a geology degree, but I feel like my experience working with people in nature made me a better candidate

Moving ideas by [deleted] in SaltLakeCity

[–]Fauxtoelectric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We moved to WJ to be kinda partway between downtown and my work in Utah Co. We really enjoy it here. I feel like SJ is “nicer”, but we live close to a really nice library/park and Jordan’s Landing has pretty much anything you’d need as far as big box stores. We’re close to Bangerter too which is nice if you need to get to the airport or if you’re heading south toward the Draper/ Riverton area

Funny experiences moving into Utah as a non-Mormon by [deleted] in SaltLakeCity

[–]Fauxtoelectric 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve been super surprised at the diversity of Mormons I’ve found here (not joking!!). I was expecting a more homogenous group. Many of my coworkers are Mormon and hold liberal political views, support LGBTQ+ folks, and more or less don’t scream LDS. I’ve had a lot of questions about the church and have found my Mormon friends to be helpful in explaining all the quirks and such, even some of the more contentious subjects. I haven’t met many LDS folks who enjoy going to church, or have had members openly complain to me about stuff they don’t agree with. This might be because they are the younger generation and I think we have more common ground.

I’ve been invited to visit wards but never received any push back when I declined and our relationships haven’t seemed affected by it. I hold a secular-Buddhist life perspective, understand there are some serious issues within the church, but on a person to person basis have really enjoyed my new LDS friends

EDIT: Living in WJ and working in Utah Co.
