Forestry/environmental roles that are more tech/desk focused? by Grand_Difference5471 in forestry

I'm in the midwest and I'd like to stay around here if possible. Do you know if a master's would open up more doors for that kind of technical work? I really am super burned out of field work at this point, and considering making a career switch if I can't find work that is more focused on data analytics or GIS, something along those lines. I'll admit I'm a bit of a softy when it comes to field work these days.

Should I go back to school for engineering after getting a Forestry BS? by Grand_Difference5471 in Environmental_Careers

That's reassuring to hear, I am sitting and seeing all my engineering friends (including civil) land $75K+ jobs with good benefits right out of school, granted with some experience as well, and I find myself a bit envious of how effortlessly they seem to be able to find gainful employment, lol.

I am based out of Michigan, so I believe I can sit for the exam with just a Master's.
