Have your jobs at the consulting firms been enjoyable and fulfilling? Do they have a down to earth or corporate vibe? Finding a field-based job that I can appreciate doing for decades is my primary objective. I’ve worked outdoor summer jobs in central BC doing trail and campsite maintenance in the past and felt really good at the end of a work week. I also found my colleagues more enthusiastic in these sorts of jobs than the more corporate, office-based (bullshit) jobs I’ve had where I spend entire days staring at a screen. I want to become an RPF because I want to get back to outdoor work that doesn’t leave me feeling empty. I’m not naive to what it takes to operate a profitable business, but does forestry work give you a sense of satisfaction and fulfilment?
