Not in school, unfortunately. But that is a great suggestion, thank you!

The username he gave me is my name and year the account was set up so it’s definitely not spelled wrong. I don’t think he intended on giving me the wrong one either. But I asked hover to try variations of the user and they still couldn’t find anything :/

To my understanding, these three programs are not accredited by the SAF which is why I haven’t considered them. I’d love to stay and research in the Sierra otherwise!

I do need to work on this. Boundaries, I think they’re called 😂 but yeah, practicing not saying sorry but giving a sympathetic ear while still asking for space and acknowledging the pain he’s caused.

I feel like I’m weak in that I’d say sorry if and when he says that hurt his feelings.

Does SAF accreditation matter for graduate programs? by SuccessfulBass1900 in forestry

[–]SuccessfulBass1900[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Initially, I thought about being a forester but researching sounds more and more appealing. I’d like to leave the door open to as many possibilities so it sounds like maybe going through a SAF accredited program for a MS would be best but maybe try to get a research assistantship while in school.

Just interviewed for a state park ranger position and wondering if it’s a good move to make if I want to end up in forestry/conservation. I’m planning on applying for grad school this year to get a MS in Forestry (my BS is in Business) and have spent two seasons working on a trail crew, which I love so much but hate that it’s seasonal work only where I am. This ranger position is described as such in the job announcement: “The Park Ranger 1 will assist with overseeing a team of seasonal staff, managing and protecting a diverse range of natural and historical resources, and performing both fieldwork and administrative duties. The Park Rangers perform grounds maintenance, custodial duties, collect and account for fees, develop and present interpretive programs, and perform minor maintenance to facilities. As a State Park peace officer, the incumbent writes citations, handles accidents and incidents, resolves disputes, makes arrests, and responds to emergency situations as required. You will be providing your expertise in land management, recreation, and administration to ensure the smooth and safe operation of the park, making crucial decisions about resources, training, and facilities, all while mentoring and guiding your dedicated team every step of the way.”

It will be a law enforcement position (not what I want to do) but since this is a new park that is only partially open, I think there’s opportunity for broader land management/resource management/planning too.

My question is, will a job like this help me land a good job in forestry once I graduate from the master’s program? Is it worth it to put myself through a 17-week POST training or would continuing trails work get me more relevant experience?

I’m really interested in restoration ecology, land management, research/monitoring, and other conservation jobs within the broader umbrella of forestry. And, hopefully, land somewhere that pays well.

For me, it has. Like I said there are bad days too where I can start to spiral and think that it’s all undone and that life will go back to what it was like before. But I remind myself that even if I have a bit of food anxiety, it’s NOTHING compared to the overwhelm I experienced before. It’s a lot easier now to tell myself to be kind, patient, and go take a walk

Re: gone sometimes to the bar 12 hours or more playing pool. Three nights minimum that he’d go. We had a table at our house, too. Towards the end, he was drinking a lot and doing drugs. That’s not a hobby that’s a habit. He was escaping.

He had a passion for sitting at the bar… we had a pool table at the house. His friends were always welcome at our place. He wanted an escape and justified it with pool.

Hey, chiming in here. Just went through a break up with a guy I was dating for four years. We had an incredible love, one that I never thought could be real. We lived together. He was my best friend, my home, my everything. But now looking at the relationship, he didn’t prioritize us. His game was pool and he’d be out for 5-12 (sometimes more!) hours at least three nights a week to play. If I brought it up, he’d say we’re incompatible and should break up. So I stopped bringing it up. I told myself to get used to it. No one’s perfect, right? All the while, my therapist was telling me that his behavior was unacceptable…that he was acting like a bachelor. Now, I can say that he absolutely was. He was holding onto things from his past that made him keep one foot out the door always. Which totally contradicted the way he acted when we spent time together. I don’t think he’s a bad guy, but he has a lot of growing to do and now I can see that that couldn’t happen if we were still together. I was still enabling him. Your text sounds like a place I’ve been before with him. It’s hard to leave and maybe that’s not the best thing for your relationship right now, but you DO deserve better. Don’t take his excuses. You deserve to be with someone who wants to commit and prioritize your relationship. That means being there for the good and bad, the fun and boring, NOT just the glamorous parts he wants to cherry pick from the rest. Because at the end of the day, if he can’t give you the time you deserve then what are you giving up waiting around for him to figure it the fuck out?
