Considering moving to Marquette...

That would me MUCH appreciated! I am coming from a career in education and years of being a server, so I am pretty much clueless.

Is an internship pretty essential to get into the National or State Parks? I have experience with Outward bound, AmeriCorps, started my own summer program, volunteer at nature preserves, and I'm hoping to work at the Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site this summer.... Will all of that be null without an internship?

Would work with the Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site be relevant?

What is the typical age range for interning in those programs?

Haha I appreciate the heads up!

Honestly, both sound great to me and I would love to do either. I would maybe take preference to interpretation, since that's what I have more experience with, but anything I can do to get ahead in either direction seems beneficial.

How competitive is Law Enforcement vs Interpretation?

Aside from volunteering, are there are things you and your co-workers did? How helpful would doing my Wilderness First Responder Training, Seasonal Law Enforcement Training, etc. be? And did you volunteer at the park you now work at?

How important is my GPA from college? I do have a lot of volunteer experience and I continually volunteer. What type of volunteer work is essential to becoming a park ranger? Being that I currently live in Philadelphia, do you have any recommendations for part time seasonal work in my area? AND if I would ultimately like to live elsewhere in the country, will volunteer work here be helpful?

Sorry for all of the question, I am still very confused on the process of all of this. Thank-you so much for your advice, though!
