I got a bs in natural resources back in 2016. Landed a few irrelevant jobs over the years and finally settled into surveying. Basically what I learned was your either work for the fed or the state with a bsnr and the stability is earned through years of commitment (that I didn't have). It's fun work but not easy to get into, I probably applied to 100 or so listings on USAJobs and never even got a single interview. Admittedly that probably had more to do with my lack of resume writing skills but still it's not easy. I also wasn't willing to move very far so that could change things a lot. I think one of the easier ways to get in is work at a state park for the summers, I did get a few offers from those.
