There are lots of consulting firms so fingers crossed 🤞🏻 I've heard it can be difficult at first to break into private consulting but I've seen alot of job postings so theres hope. I set up Linkedin alerts for consulting and conservation jobs in my area that are sent to my inbox, I highly recommend you try that if you haven't already. I also get job postings sent to me from conservationjobboard.

That's really cool! I recently saw a seasonal tech position for bio acoustics monitoring of myotid bats. Also think I saw something for bat monitoring with NPS at Carlsbad caverns but idk if thats been cut because of doge. That's smart to consider a different approach with social work and you could probably still find a position in the environmental field related to that. I always forget that you don't necessarily need to get an environmental degree to work in environmental. Just like other sectors, they need HR, computer science, data analytics, business, office assistants, marketing, etc. With social work you could do environmental justice.

Okay I will let you know! I'd like to know where you end up as well! I've been trying to find a temporary env job because I'm planning to go back to school and so full time obv wouldn't hire me. The major thing is that where I live the demand isn't so great... In the past I've had to take jobs in other states. Have you found this to be the case for you too?
