What can I do with a B.S. in biology that pertains to wildlife and the outdoors in Virginia?

I am about to graduate with a degree in biology and I can't find any information on places that offer careers in wildlife in VirginiaWhat can I do with a B.S. in biology that pertains to wildlife and the outdoors in Virginia?
Try the Virginia Dept. of Natural Resources, Texas A %26amp; M University's wildlife job board, Project WILD, the Fish and Wildlife Service or The Forest Service.





Let me tell you now, a major in Biology will make it more difficult to find a job in Wildlife than something more speciallized like a degree in Wildlife Science or Fisheries. Just be persistant in your search and it will pay off, as more and more jobs in wildlife research and management are becoming available due to the baby boomers starting to retire.





If these places fail, try the career center at Virginia Tech, they have a great wildlife program and can help guide you.What can I do with a B.S. in biology that pertains to wildlife and the outdoors in Virginia?
