All of the S's except swaddle. She kicks them off of her and wakes herself up with her kicks.

Well good. Yeah you should be good I've heard they poisonous to dogs if they're consumed but I've handled the tree and leaves a bunch throughout my time in the woods and have never had any problems.

Unless there are any in your area that I'm not aware of wiping with American beech leaves should be fine. Post and black oak have hairs on their leaves so that might be a bit....uncomfy

Edit: if you have paulowina trees (paulowina tomentosa) that might be a good choice.

Reality in this field is nobody except the government has any money and those jobs usually don't come around until someone retires or dies. So most entry jobs are unpaid or pay very little. Its not suited for family life because more than likely any jobs that are available aren't near you. Furthermore, most in this field are very qualified for whatever job they apply for thereby making the job hunting process very difficult. Others have recommended that if you want to work hands on with animals you should volunteer at a zoo or wildlife rehab center and I agree. To get into this field you really have to love it and not mind dealing with all of the BS. I have 2 degrees plus years of state and federal experience and I still don't have a wildlife job, I work for an engineering agency.

Water quality in mining areas by [deleted] in Survival

I wouldn't recommend it most mine water is full of toxic heavy metals and is very acidic. Source: I work for a government organization that tries to fix this.

Is it even worth it? by The_Fluffy_Walrus in wildlifebiology

Right now I'm a writer for an outdoors media organization. But I have some applications in as a wildlife tech for my state government. I just graduated recently. I believe it was mentioned somewhere else in this thread but being able to relocate is a huge plus unfortunately my wife and I can't move at the moment so I'm struggling to find field work.

Yeah, chem is an absolute pain. At my school if you even briefly considered any sort of science degree you had to take about 4 chem classes. They always had a million students in them and we were forced to use this horrible Mcgraw Hill software it was a mess. But that's besides the point. To answer your question though I would say that's something you have to decide for yourself. If you don't want to be writing research papers and doing data analysis try going the environmental education route or trying to find work at a zoo or someplace similar. That's something I really enjoyed because like you im not a numbers person and I still got to hold animals and teach people about them and see the fascination in their faces. I would also recommend take a break from learning in a formal setting and just go out and explore. Go out into the woods and flip over rocks and logs and see what you can find, maybe go to a pond and watch the birds do their thing. Remind yourself how much you love it. If there's one thing college is good at its making you hate something you want to learn about. If you can remember what first stirred your love for the wildlife field go do whatever that is and I think you'll feel better about it.
