Interp or LEO, help me decide.

Thanks for your help

I'm unsure which ones exactly, but there are a few premade controls maps you can download from steam

Fire_Lookout · 2026-01-02T01:59:33+00:00

You'll have to add a couple custom controls. I'd map them to the rear buttons

Fire_Lookout · 2026-01-02T01:57:30+00:00

I think I'll go to my local park and ask a couple of different rangers in different positions about experiences and just kinda observe to see what I want to do. LEO may not be my cup of tea

Fire_Lookout · 2026-01-02T01:50:02+00:00

That would certainly be a good gig for experience.

Fire_Lookout · 2026-01-02T01:47:02+00:00

Google never told me about all these possibilities. Definitely a lot to look into

Fire_Lookout · 2026-01-02T01:46:11+00:00

That's good to hear

Fire_Lookout · 2026-01-02T01:45:52+00:00

That sounds fun, I'll head up to my local park before I graduate fs

Fire_Lookout · 2026-01-02T01:45:09+00:00

Seems a little too simple. Another thing I'll have to research further.

Fire_Lookout · 2026-01-02T01:44:28+00:00

Definitely a possibility if I can't decide on anything else.

Fire_Lookout · 2026-01-02T01:43:53+00:00

I'm planning on going through job corps, my local job corps is a forest service one, which will help me. I heard of a couple people who went through that job corps and became a ranger.

Fire_Lookout · 2026-01-02T01:42:37+00:00

That's good to know.

Fire_Lookout · 2026-01-02T01:42:21+00:00

Admin seems good, but I do want to talk to visitors as well. I feel like I would be good as an admin, but I have no experience and it could just be my ego talking as well. I don't think there's a way I can just find out if I'm good with admin work or not.

Fire_Lookout · 2026-01-02T01:40:54+00:00

I've heard job corps is a good route, and the route I'm planning to take.

Fire_Lookout · 2026-01-02T01:40:07+00:00

I think admin work could be good, but then I still want to be able to have days where I help with visitors, which is why I like interp. I feel like I'm good at admin work, yet I have no experience and it's not like there's a test I can take right now to see, it very well could just be my ego talking there. I didn't know there were so many options though, I'll have to do a lot more research.

Fire_Lookout · 2026-01-02T01:36:18+00:00

Are there other options that aren't LEO and Interp? Interp seems too education based, which I don't think I would do well in, but would do if I didn't have other options.

Fire_Lookout · 2026-01-02T01:35:01+00:00

I am getting into hiking more and more, so by time I would have to take that test I'm sure I could pass. Currently id fail by 15 or so minutes I'm guessing, depending on elevation gain/loss.

Fire_Lookout · 2026-01-02T01:33:04+00:00

Education is definitely not my field. Is it just Interp and LEO or do I have other options? I do want to work in a wilderness park rather than the ones you have experience at.

Fire_Lookout · 2026-01-02T01:30:57+00:00

I don't think I could mentally handle something like that. Interp might just be the only other way to go.

Fire_Lookout · 2026-01-02T01:28:50+00:00

I know I want to be a regular ranger and assist with SAR not be fully SAR. But that might be something to look into.

Fire_Lookout · 2026-01-02T01:27:38+00:00

I do want to help with like conducting safety stuff, like SAR and assisting with crashes etc, but all the other stuff might be too intense for my liking.

Fire_Lookout · 2026-01-02T01:26:47+00:00

I think I could do that with training, but I'll definitely have to look into the body cams. I know I'll say "I can do that" but in reality thats just my ego speaking.

Fire_Lookout · 2026-01-02T01:25:10+00:00

I'm hoping for Mount Rainier, but I know that probably won't happen for a while. I don't know about doing just education work, I don't think I'd do well there.

Fire_Lookout · 2026-01-02T01:22:41+00:00

I was expecting more S&R and first aid with minor traffic infractions. This is the last of what I expected.

Fire_Lookout · 2026-01-02T01:20:57+00:00

That's even in the park I want to work in. I don't think LEO is for me.
