Work in the US Forest Service? Help wanted


My life's mission is to save the forest.
The forests need protecting. It's not clear that the bureaucracy that is the USDA does that. But it might. In college at Berkeley, my roommate was majoring in forestry to become a forest ranger. Rather than doing anything interesting, he said the work was doing studies to prove polluters were reducing fish populations and gathering data to make a case even as they continued doing it. He was disheartened. It might be better to join the Sierra Club or an organization that isn't co-opted by business interests. Remember, if you think the System is working, you must be working for the System.
