What kind of job can i get with a forestry wildlife certificate or degree?

I have never head of a forestry wildlife degree.





I majored in Wildlife management and Ecology.





Honestly, there are not many jobs available. The job market is extremely fierce, and many of my peers applied for 60 jobs before actually getting one (and with good grades and decent experience). I am actually going on to veterinary school because there are no jobs available.





Job potentials: Zookeepers, researchers (collect data on wild animals), working for the state or federal government maintaining populations (which could be feeding, hunting, traslocating, etc). Most of the jobs are temporary- for every full time job, there are usually over 1,000 applicants, sometimes more.





If you are talking about a forestry and wildlife degree, the forest service hires wildlife biologists to manage the wildlife on their timberland, and in parks.What kind of job can i get with a forestry wildlife certificate or degree?
Well, the first one that comes to mind is a park ranger in a State or National park, or another position with the Department of Forestry.
