Skills you need of how to become a wild life biologists |
FWS Guy in Washington, District of Columbia 76 months ago |
Jessica in Carterville, Illinois said: Thanks, Brian for the information. I will check out Murray State. I am also wondering what other careers are out there for someone with a passion for wildlife like me. Jessica,
Career-wise, a wildlife biogist is usually employeed by state or federal government. A smaller percentage work for non-profits, such as the Nature Conservancy, or private timber or other natural resource (i.e. oil, power) companies. |
WildlifeGuy in Mt. Washington, Kentucky 76 months ago |
Jessica, Wildlife Biology is such a diverse field, it really depends on what your specific interests you have. Some biologists work with specific species (quail biologist, deer biologist, etc), some with a specific group of animals (I was a small game biologist for a while), some work on public land to improve the wildlife habitat and manage the facilities, some work with private landowners to help them improve their land for wildlife, and some conduct research on various species of wildlife. FWS Guy had a very good idea in his post - go visit your state Fish and Wildlife Dept. or a US Fish and WIldlife Service office and talk to some of the biologists. Find out what they do, how well they like their work, and maybe you can volunteer with them for a few days to get a feel for what they do. I wish you the best in your search for a wildlife career. It really is a rewarding field. Again, let me know if you have any more questions. I will answer them as best as I can. Take care, Brian |

WildlifeGuy in Mt. Washington, Kentucky said: Jessica, I am just now enrolling into college and am severely interested in a career in wildlife biology. What kind of degree should I seek? You say you were a small game biologist. What kind of path did you have to take to eventually reach this position? What was the pay like? Was it extremely competitive to get into it? What were the basic activities you conducted in your job? I would love to work in the outdoors. Possibly at a wildlife park or resort or refuge. Could you give me a basic idea or pointers in the field? I would love to hear from your experience |
FWS Guy in Washington, District of Columbia 76 months ago |
If you want to be a wildlife biologist, look for a wildlife program. As wildlifeguy said, the certification from the Wildlife Society is important for beginning in the field. Check them out at www.wildlife.org The wildlife field is very competitive, experience is the key for a beginning biologist. Look for opportunities with a State or Federal agencies to get out in the field and be hands-on. More than likely you'll have to volunteer your time, but it will pay off in the end. The GS scale is explained at www.opm.gov. An entry level job is at the GS-5 level (usually). |
WildlifeGuy in Mt. Washington, Kentucky 76 months ago |
As FWS Guy mentioned, I would highly recommend getting a degree in Wildlife Biology, Wildlife Management, Conservation Biology, or something specific to wildlife. Not to say you couldn't get a wildlife job with just a biology degree, but it would be much harder and would definitely limit the jobs that you could apply for. Many wildlife jobs these days require you to be eligible for certification through the Wildlife Society. This certification requires very specific coursework. So be sure to research potential college choices and make sure that they offer the classes you will need to meet this requirement. The path that I took was to first obtain my degree in Wildlife Biology from Murray State University in western Kentucky. I then lucked into a seasonal Wildlife Technician job on a wildlife management area just 20 miles from my hometown (I got very lucky on that one). After working three years at this seasonal job (I worked April-December, then had to find other work January-March), and getting turned down for numerous full-time biologist positions, they finally made the position permanent. After three more years as a technician, I finally got the job as Small Game Biologist. I really liked my technician job WAY more than I did the biologist position because I was in the field daily doing hands-on habitat work. As a biologist, I rarely got out of the office. Thats not to say that all wildlife biologist positions are office jobs, as most are not. Mine just happened to one that was. The more you are willing to move, the easier it will be for you to find work. I wanted to stay in the state of Kentucky at the time, so I limited my opportunties. As far as pay, Kentucky's biologists start out around $34,000/yr. Thats pretty average for entry level biologist positions from what I have seen. If wildlife work is what you truly want to do, don't let anyone tell you that you won't be able to get a job or that you'll starve to death on the pay. |
Marvel Mills in Kissimmee, Florida 76 months ago |
Thank you both so much for your responses. I looked into Florida colleges that offer degrees similar to the ones you suggested and here's what I found www.registrar.ufl.edu/catalog/programs/courses/wildlife.html As far as I can tell that seems to be something if not exactly like what you are suggesting. Am I right?

Hi everyone. I graduated in 2007 from Rutgers University with a BA in Communications, but as time passed I realized that this field wasn't of interest to me and that my true passion lies in wildlife conservation. I am trying to figure out what steps to take in order to follow my dream career, but I am a tad confused and need your help. I've tried applying to various organizations to gain some experience, but they would not take me. My only other option is to go back to school. I've looked at a major in Wildlife Management, which seems very applicable to what I'm intending to do, but I do not know whether or not I have to go for a Bachelor's again or I can just pursue a Master's in Wildlife Management. The reason why I chose this major is because it meets the requirements of the Wildlife Society and will allow me to become a certified Wildlife Biologist in five years time. Most of the schools that I've stumbled upon are out of state, so that would involve a massive effort to relocate to a different state, out-of-state tuition and the like. I was thinking of taking up some general courses in my community college, but am not sure whether or not they will be accepted at the university from which I will major in Wildlife Management. Also, if I do go for a second Bachelor's in Wildlife Management, would I have to take all the general classes again? It would be great if I could do some sort of bridge program, where I can just use the English/history/humanities classes that I've already taken towards my credit requirements and simply take the courses that are left (i.e. the courses directly relating to the Wildlife Management major...biology, botany, chemistry, mammology and etc.) I would really appreciate any helpful comments my way. I really want to make this happen because I love animals and would be honored to devote my life to protecting them. Thank you in advance! |

I know Rutgers offers a Ecology and Natural Resource degree. I believe this meets Wildlife Society Standards, you'd have to check. Might be worth checking into and talking to some of the professors to see what there advice is. |

FWS Guy in Springfield, Illinois 75 months ago |
If I was you, the first thing I would do is before making a big life decision like this is to go and talk to some of the State and US Fish and Wildlife Service biologist to understand what they do on a daily basis. Corwin's gig is great but that's not what we do everyday. If you are still interested, my advice would be to get as much experience as you can while taking classes. Volunteer with the State, non-profits, grad student projects (I know I always needed the help), or look into the US Fish and Wildlife Student Career Experience Program (SCEP). The Rutger's degree does not have anything to do with them not getting a job. You can't just come out of a wildlife program and expect to get a job. It is a very competitive field and basic field experience is a requirement for any entry level job. You also have to understand that the number of wildlife jobs is limited to state, federal, non-profits, and a few private companies, so competing with other people with wildlife, biology, zoology, and other natural resource degrees makes it tough. I'd also go to usajobs.opm.gov check out some of the federal jobs avaiable to see what the requirements are. The wildlife biologist job series is 0486, though there are other series like biological technicians, refuge managers, law enforcement, etc.. It's not an easy road, but a rewarding one. Just make sure you look into it more before deciding to make a major life change. |

Lexi B in Redding, California 75 months ago |
So I'm just starting my college education and I would really like to become a wildlife biologist. I have done alot of research as to what they do, pay rate, etc...I just have a couple questions. First, what is a good minor for a wildlife biology major? Also, does anyone know of student funding available for people interested in this field? I desperately need money for college so that I can get my degree, any suggestions? |
Flounder in Monroeville, Pennsylvania 75 months ago |
DO NOT MAJOR IN WILDLIFE!! I've got a PhD in wildlife and have been unemployed for over a year. Hedge your bets - major in Biology and since you'll have to get a Masters if you want even the lowest paying job (think minimum wage) you can specify at that point. The profession is basically a joke. If you're a female, go for it. The profession has traditionally attracted men, so state game agencies will hire a female within the wildlife department in a heartbeat. And only do it if you love living in the middle of nowhere. Seriously, you'd think people get into wildlife to live in rural areas but all the competition is for jobs in/near larger metro areas. If you want to live in nowhere South Dakota, do it. Overall, in wildlife you have techs that make close to minimum wage and professors/researchers way up at the top. Very little middle ground. The majority of people I know from college (both undergrad and grad) aren't even in wildlife anymore. Of course those that have gotten one of the few jobs available will its great and go for it, but they represent a small fraction of people that actually have a wildlife degree(s). This profession has totally ruined my life. |

Several tech jobs during BS. Straight through from MS to PhD. |
WildlifeGuy in Mt. Washington, Kentucky 75 months ago |
Wow. It's always the ones who failed at something that are the first to tell everyone else not to try. What about the thousands of us who ARE employed in the wildlife field - I guess we were just all "lucky". Just about everthing in Flounder's post is bull. I've been in the wildlife field for just under ten years - with just a bachelors degree. I've worked four different positions with three different agencies/companies and never left my hometown (I will admit, that I have been very fortunate in that aspect). I make decent money at what I do, although I have had to work my way up from pretty meager beginnings. I don't know too many wildlife jobs paying minimum wage, and I would guess that most wildlife technician positions start in the mid 20's, and biologist positions start in the low to mid 30's. Flounder's post does bring up a few points worth discussing, however. First, if you are serious about pursuing a job in wildlife biology, you really need to be willing to relocate. New wildlife jobs open everyday, but the competition is high, and those willing to move about anywhere will certainly have the advantage over those wanting to stay in one particular city or state. That is NOT to say you can't get a job in your home state, but chance are that it will take a lot more persistence and networking. Second - you need to be willing to start in an entry level job and work your way up. A lot of wildlife biologists get their start as a wildlife technician, as I did. No, the pay isn't great, but once you have your foot in the door with an agency or company, it is a lot easier to get promoted into a biologist position than it is to come straight in from the outside. Third - A masters degree is probably a good idea, although few states actually require one, and I still believe that in most cases experience will take you farther than degrees. I certainly would not recommend getting a PhD without a good deal of experience under your belt.... to be cont. |
WildlifeGuy in Mt. Washington, Kentucky 75 months ago |
continued from pervious post: The time you spend getting a PhD would be better spent getting experience - even if it is volunteer or low-paying experience. Low paying experience is better than forking over thousands of dollars for an additional degree that you don't get to use. Fourth - Network! If there is a particular agency/company that you want to work for, then by all means, get to know guys in that agency. Talk to the ones responsible for hiring about what you can do to make yourself a better candidate for future positions. Volunteer every chance you get. When your application shows up for an opening, you want them to know exactly who you are and your odds of at least getting an interview will go way up. Fifth - make sure you have a great resume and a polished interview. I'm filling a biologist position right now, and it is amazing the quality - or lack thereof - of some of the resumes that people send. If your not great at writing a resume, then pay for someone to make one for you. It is the key to getting to the interview. Once you get an interview scheduled, then the real work begins. Practice, practice, practice. Try to anticipate any possible questions you could be asked and have a great answer prepared for all of them. Expect questions on your work habits, experience, and technical questions relating to the job you are applying for. Know everything about the agency/company that you are interviewing with and try to plug some of that into your replies during the interview - it will show that you did your homework. Sixth - don't give up!!! I couldn't tell you how many unsuccessful interviews that I went through when I was first trying to get a biologist position, but it was a bunch! But with each interview, I got better at anticipating what questions would get asked, and I got better at answering those questions. It was a long, painful learning experience for me, but it paid off in the end. Sorry to go so long and ramble! |
FWSGuy in Denver, Colorado 75 months ago |
If this is your dream stick with it, it can be frustrating, but hard work always pays off in the end. |
Flounder in Monroeville, Pennsylvania 75 months ago |
You are exactly right FWSGuy. I've had alot a fun in the wildlife field. It was very rewarding until I made a really, really bad decision to get a PhD. I've basically educated myself out of getting a good job. I don't think my expectations are unrealistic. I'm willing to relocate to any of the 48 states and take whatever job I can get so long as it will cover my minimum financial aid payments. Not looking to be a supervisor or in charge of anything, just an entry level position is fine with me. I have absolutely no delusions of being qualified for and getting a higher position, but it seems everyone just makes the assumption I'm "settling" for a lower position and I'll leave as soon as a faculty job is available. The irony is that I have absolutely no desire to be a professor. This of course begs the question why I a PhD in the first place. I ask myself that every day. |
WildlifeGuy in Mt. Washington, Kentucky 75 months ago |
Flounder, Why didn't you lay all that out in your original post, with a warning to others not to make the same mistakes that you did, rather than going on a big rant about how the entire wildlife field is a "joke". Nothing bothers me more than someone trying to kill another person's dream just because they weren't able to make it happen themselves. Is getting a great wildlife job easy? Nope! Is it possible? Absolutely! It just takes a lot of hard work, flexibility and persistence. Stick with it- someone, somewhere will give you the chance to prove yourself and you will be on your way to a long and happy career. Take care, Brian |
Flounder in Monroeville, Pennsylvania 75 months ago |
You're right WildlifeGuy, it was a very misplaced, frustration induced, ill-advised rant. My frustration has reached boiling point over the past few weeks, but it still doesn't give me right to bash someones dream. If you do want to be a wildlife biologist - do get experience and do take advice from professors with a grain of salt. |

Flounder in Monroeville, Pennsylvania said: You're right WildlifeGuy, it was a very misplaced, frustration induced, ill-advised rant. My frustration has reached boiling point over the past few weeks, but it still doesn't give me right to bash someones dream. WildlifeGuy and Flounder You are both right to a certain extent. I have a BS in Biology and a MS in Wildlife Ecology. I even by a strange twist of fate have veteran's preference points. The USFWS is very difficult to get into unless you are willing and able to be a volunteer for several seasons and move around. I found myself coming home from Iraq with a MS and found getting a wildlife job even with a state wildlife agency difficult. I had several years of research experience as well as some extension service experience with a university, still nothing. Then I started thinking outside of the box a little. There are several career paths open to wildlife professionals. I ended up as a state Environmentalist. Mostly I do field inspections and write impact statements but I am getting experience that counts toward full certification with TWS and the salary is higher than tech positions and even most Biologist I positions. When doing job searches don't limit yourself to only looking at job titles that exactly match the title on your degree. Pay more attention to the qualifications and duties of a particular job than its title. |
Britt in Missoula, Montana 70 months ago |
The University of Montana has a good wildlife bio program and offers a cerification by the wildlife socitey. After about the first year of the program you are supposed to choose between a terrestrial or an aquatic option. Of course, if you want to do both you can but it's more work. The school is in the mountains and has a lot of outdoor recreation around if your into that stuff. I moved out here for the wildlife program and have no regrets. I will be working on my 3rd year to get my bachelors. There are several opportunities for experience around here as well. |

MontanaWildlife in Bozeman, Montana 64 months ago |
This is an interesting discussion. I've been working in the wildlife field for just about ten years now, and in my experience things fall somewhere in the middle of the "doom and gloom" and "everything is roses" scenarios. Here's what I've learned over the past decade or so:
MontanaWildlife in Bozeman, Montana 64 months ago |
To my mind, the single most pressing conservation issue is loss of habitat. One certainty of conservation is that without the habitat there are no wildlife. The rate at which habitat is being developed astounds me. Organizations like the Nature Conservancy and others are doing great work at identifying and protecting important wild areas. I think private organizations like these are really where the future lies in terms of habitat conservation and getting involved with one of these would be a great way to work on a significant conservation problem. There are also numerous opportunities to volunteer with state and federal wildlife agencies. The types of volunteer work varies tremendously from place to place, but volunteers are often a critical source of manpower for refuges and agencies. There are also many sportsman's groups that do conservation work- Pheasants Forever volunteers plant shelter belts and food plots for upland birds. Ducks Unlimited works on wetland habitat restoration. The big game organizations (Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Mule Deer Foundation, etc) have done a lot of work to protect habitat and reestablish populations throughout historic ranges of these species. If you are conservation minded but unsure about switching careers, going back to school, working low-paying field jobs, etc. there are lots of opportunities out there for you to get involved and make a difference. |

Hi,I'm actually new to this site.I'm wondering,what does the job market look like for a Marine Science Major in Fla?I just moved to Fla with my wife in hopes of finding a job or a possible intern within the Marine Science field.I may be posting in the wrong area and if I am forgive me.I'm just looking for some help and any answers given would be greatly appreciated. |
MontanaWildlife in Bozeman, Montana 64 months ago |
Hmmm...Don't know much about Marine Science. My impression from talking to the few others I've known in the field is that options may be a bit more limited than for terrestrial wildlife. I would think Florida would be about the best location you could be in for a Marine Science job so seems like you have positioned yourself well. I read a few years ago that much of the work out there is more research oriented than management oriented. Nothing wrong with that, but it usually means funding is more fickle. Sorry I can't give you some job market info, but maybe help with places to look. I would check with non-profits (I know there are quite a few in the marine realm), check with the State wildlife agency and any other agency that might be dealing with marine issues, Universities that might have ongoing research and potential job opportunities, and check with the US Fish and Wildlife Service to see what work they are doing in the state. These would be the most likely places to find internship or job information, and in my experience getting your foot in the door is absolutely the most important step in getting a job. Once you have those contacts and that interaction with an agency, you are much more likely to hear about jobs or have things just fall in to your lap. 90% of getting a natural resource job is being in the right place at the right time. I quite unexpectedly landed in my first paying wildlife job while volunteering for a state wildlife agency- I showed up one day and the volunteer coordinator told me the Forest Service biologist needed a tech, I had the qualifications, and he asked if I was interested. Just goes to show, volunteering is not a waste of time and you never know what might happen... |
Richard Gomez in San Antonio, Texas 64 months ago |
Hey everyone I am going into the wildlife field and am wondering what step's to make? I contacted the Wildlife Center in Austin and an officer said she got in the field with a BS in Biology then a BS in Wildlife Management. If I follow this then I would get my BS in Biology at UTSA since its right next door to me and then go to Texas Tech for BS in Wildlife Management or A&M University College for BS in Wildlife and Fisheries sciences. |
MontanaWildlife in Bozeman, Montana 64 months ago |
At this point in this field, it is extremely difficult to get a permanent level job with only a bachelor's degree. I am one of the lucky ones in that regard. It was kind of a personal choice- my husband has a Master's in Wildlife and its easier for us both to work in the same location if we don't have the exact same qualifications. It can be done, but you have your work cut out for you and in many people's eyes you will always lack a certain degree of credibility or expertise. You will also be much more limited in the types of jobs you will be qualified for. You may have more luck in the private sector with only a BS than in a government agency, but the field is getting more and more saturated with people with advanced degrees looking for permanent positions too. In my experience, having two bachelors degrees is almost worthless. The experience with stats, study/experimental design and implementation, and higher level coursework gained in a Master's program would almost certainly serve you better. If you're going to spend the time and money on education, you'll get much more bang for your buck with a BS/MS. If I were you, I would go for the BS at Texas Tech, then on for a Master's at another institution. Going to different schools gives you an opportunity to see different perspectives, different management issues, and expand your network. I've sat on a couple of hiring committees, and the specialized coursework you get with a wildlife major as opposed to a straight biology major will make you more marketable in the wildlife field. A straight bio degree gives you more fallback options if wildlife doesn't work out. And make sure you get some field experience while in school! Volunteer, look at student employment/internship options with feds or state agencies, work summer jobs in the field. Its fun, and the experience will be extremely helpful in getting into grad school and beyond. |
Richard Gomez in San Antonio, Texas 64 months ago |
Thank you for the information. Might just skip the BS in Biology and go straight to Texas Tech for a BS in Wildlife Management and if I stay at Texas Tech then a MS in Wildlife Science. If not then I will go to A&M University for my MS in Wildlife Science. I know A&M has a job board on there site that list everywhere in the US where there are openings for Internship or actual job openings in this field. |
Colton Robbins in San Marcos, Texas 63 months ago |
Hello everyone, I am a wildlife biology student at Texas State University and I want to ask anyone who has been in the business a few or more years: what's it like living the lifestyle of a wildlife biologist? From what I've found it seems like a beginner wildlife biologist has to move several times a year, travel all over the country, handle getting shot down at 20 different job interviews before you finally get a job that'll last a whole 6-8 months, and then do it all over again. This also seems like it would make staying in touch with family hard, as well as making friends, and I can't even imagine being in a romantic relationship/ being married while doing all this. How do you people/superhumans do it? |
MontanaWildlife in Bozeman, Montana 63 months ago |
If you are young and unattached it is certainly easier to just up and move whenever a new opportunity presents itself and the ability to do so is a huge asset if you are serious about being in the field for the long haul. I have to say that I look back very fondly on my years as a roving technician and if I had to do it again, I wouldn't change anything. I've been able to work in some of the coolest places around, and have had opportunities to do some really fun things and meet some really great people. I would actually encourage any young aspiring biologist to do just that- it exposes you to many more issues and perspectives than staying in one place and helps build a professional network. Getting shot down on job interviews isn't the end of the world. It happens to us all! I've actually found that mass-emailing of the resume when I'm job searching is more effective than trying to play it safe and only applying for the few jobs I think I'd safely get.

Hello jessica,
Whateva in Ozark, Missouri 61 months ago |
I decided to change careers in my 30's and get a degree in Wildlife Biology. It has been 4 months since I graduated and finding a job has been extremely difficult. I'm very frustrated and sometimes wish I had got that engineering degree instead. I have now applied for jobs in every State except Alaska and California (just escaped from there). Trying to make contacts in Federal positions is useless. I have been to different agency offices in various states and all of them have told me that they have no say in who they get to interview. Many State governments will not hire people from other States. I applied for a job hanging moth traps on trees for damn near minimum wage and didn't get the job. lol. Experience is far more important than a degree. I would not recommend a Masters in this field unless you already have experience. |

MontanaWildlife in Bozeman, Montana 60 months ago |
Whateva- I wouldn't get too discouraged after just 4 months of job searching. That really isn't a very long time in the wildlife world, and seasonal hiring is just now really hitting it's peak for most agencies. I can't emphasize persistence enough. Getting the first job is by far the most difficult. Once you've got some connections and experience, it's amazing how much easier it is to learn about opportunities. Each agency has it's own hoops and weird hiring issues- that's just a part of government! I would be curious to see what you are considering "experience". Not all experience comes from a job. You must have some experience/interests with the outdoors to have made you want to become a wildlife professional in the first place. Hunting, camping, hiking, fishing, etc. all give you at least some level of skills and knowledge- backcountry camping, navigation, fish or wildlife identification skills. If you haven't already, I would look at your hobbies or outdoor interests and figure out what concrete skills actually do have. For example, if you are a birder or a bird hunter, you probably have excellent bird id skills. That should absolutely be in your resume (include years of experience) and at least initially you should apply for jobs for which this "experience" has qualified you. Also, another place to job hunt would be NGO's- there are tons of non-governmental jobs out there that often pay just as well if not better than government. They work on a wide variety of research, conservation, and contract work. Don't give up, and good luck! If you have specific questions, I'm always willing to help if I can. |

I majored in environmental studies, just recently got a job with an engineering and planning firm making "good" money for entry level (46k)
My major is arguably easier than bio, and im doing fine. Its all about being well rounded as well as prof experince.
My advice: choose a major that will allow you to work in multiple fields. |

MontanaWildlife in Bozeman, Montana 57 months ago |
You don't necessarily have to go far away for school. The type of job you could do will depend largely on what degree you get. Some of the common options people have for their bachelor's include regular biology, wildlife biology, animal science, zoology, fish and wildlife management, or ecology. In my experience, a wildlife degree or option is best if you want to work in this field. With a bachelor's degree, you are qualified for most entry level seasonal/temporary wildlife technician jobs (the outside jobs which can range from doing surveys to building fences and spraying weeds). You are also qualified for game warden or ranger jobs (basically law enforcement)in most agencies. You are technically qualified for entry level or term biologist positions but you will be competing against people with Masters for those positions. In general, most permanent biologist positions require a Master's in wildlife, zoology, ecology, or another closely related subject. With a Master's you could start as a biologist and work your way up to a supervisory biologist or wildlife manager, depending on the organization you work for. Typically for government jobs, the higher you go the less time you spend outside or actually working with animals and the more time you spend writing reports, evaluating and assessing management, analyzing data, and making management recommendations to those above you. |

I am a senior in high school in Sacramento,California and my adult life is about to start, and i need help on what i need to study in college to be a wildlife biologist or some kind of study that will help my dream career to work with wildlife. I want help and answers from a real person that i want to be when i become a contributing member of society, instead of people around me who don't understand why i want to work with wildlife my whole entire life. Please and thank you. |
Career Changer in Mount Vernon, Ohio 52 months ago |
Thanks Montana Wildlife for your reply, I checked out USAJOBs and found a Wildlife Biologist job in my area with the US Department of Fish and Wildlife. It listed a bachelors degree in Natural Resource Management as an acceptable basic requirement. A post for a natural resource specialist also list that degree as a basic requirement. I'm thinking of pursuing a graduate degree in Natural Resource Management designed for career changers like me.(approx 36 semester hrs) My undergrad degree is in Business Administration. If I earn a Masters in Natural Resource Management, will the absence of a science undergrad hurt my chances of landing a government job? Also, I was encouraged when I read on the Wildlife Biologist posting that work in that field whether compensated or NOT would count as qualifying experience for the position. Does anyone know if it is standard practice to accept that kind of experience for similar government jobs? Thanks for your help! |
UpNorth in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories 52 months ago |
cont from above... 6) I do not care too much for policy and regulatory analyses, and do not want to be doing work focused on this in an office (this is my current area of work), however I do recognize the importance of it. Instead, I really want to be doing direct applied work in the field and on the ground. 7) I am specifically interested in the linkages between biodiversity conservation and social issues (eg. poverty alleviation in the global south). But alot of the jobs in this area seem to focus on policy/regulatory type work and I am not sure how to incorporate working with wildlife in this area, and not sure if it is even possible? Does anyone know? 8) I am really interested in tropical biodiversity. 9) What exactly are the differences between a career in natural resource management, wildlife biology and conservation biology? 10) Does anyone have any other advice? 11) I am located in Canada so if anyone has any advice on good schools recognizing my interests above please do recommend. I have done extensive research on the internet about this, but would be good to hear real life examples of what exactly each job/field does and especially the reality of the nature of each field. Thanks for any help!!! |

ATLAS and the Higgs
Finding the Higgs Boson is changing our understanding of the world. Learn more.
Mapping the Secrets of the Universe
ATLAS is a particle physics experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN that is searching for new discoveries in the head-on collisions of protons of extraordinarily high energy. ATLAS will learn about the basic forces that have shaped our Universe since the beginning of time and that will determine its fate. Among the possible unknowns are extra dimensions of space, unification of fundamental forces, and evidence for dark matter candidates in the Universe. Following the discovery of the Higgs boson, further data will allow in-depth investigation of the boson's properties and thereby of the origin of mass.

Tub Types, Styles, Selection
Bathtub choice is an integral part of the bathroom design process. Homeowners' wishes should be considered, but if their bathtub choice is based on looks alone, it could mean disaster. It's important to know why certain tubs are specified for one type of bathroom and not another. Many other factors can affect bathtub choice.
Bathtubs come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, types, styles and materials, which can include but are not limited to cast iron, acrylic, fiberglass, porcelain on steel, cultured marble and composite.
The size of a bathroom and its configuration are the two main factors that determine the basic type of tub to use. There are five basic bathtub types, which include built-in/recessed, platform, corner, free-standing and specialty/premier tubs.
Most Popular: Built-Ins
The most common bathtub is the built-in/recessed style. They are built-in wall-to-wall and come in many sizes. The front can be coordinated to match the tile or stone of the room, or it can come with an apron front to match the same style and color of the tub. The most popular is the 5-ft. model in situations where space is an issue. It is specified for the classic 5-ft. by 7-ft. bathroom that is most popular, especially in urban dwellings such as in New York City. Typical sizes are 30 to 34 in. wide, 14 to 20 in. deep and 60 to 72 in. long. The two most popular colors are white and bisque. The built-in typically is used as a bath and/or shower where a sliding glass door is installed on the outside rim of the tub or a shower curtain rod is installed.
Platform Tubs
Platform bathtubs have no front apron and are dropped into a platform. They are generally deeper, and for this reason are used more often when there is a separate enclosure for it. Many times the bathtub is built next to the shower and a custom, frameless glass enclosure separates them in high-end bathrooms (see photo above). The front of the platform can be tiled, and for a better installation the top of the platform can use stone slab material as a complementary color to the tile in the bathtub. This same stone can be used on a shower window sill and for saddles. A dramatic tub filler faucet can be used as a focal point, or a handheld spray can also be specified.
Corner Models
Corner tubs are made to fit in the corner of a room and have angled or curved fronts. These work best in large square or rectangle rooms. Some corner tubs are so large they are made for two people; however, they take a good amount of space, which is approximately 60 in. on the back wall. These tubs are good for the very high-end market. Variations include one-piece corner shower/tub applications with built-in seat, steam and body sprays with curved or angled doors.
Free-Standing Tubs
Free-standing bathtubs stand in the middle of a room and are not built in. They are used as tubs only and not for showering. Free-standing tubs come in a traditional claw-foot style for an antique look, and they also come in an ultra-contemporary style, some of which look like art sculptures. I have seen some free-standing bathtubs with an interesting egg shape that are made from solid Corian imported from Italy. Free-standing Japanese-style soaking tubs also are available.
Specialty/Premier Tubs
Specialty/Premier bathtubs are deep, soaking tubs for a relaxing spa experience. For an exceptional massage, an air-jet system or water-jet system can be chosen. Air-jet bathtubs force air out of the jets whereas water jets push out water. The air-jet tubs provide a more bubbly experience whereas water-jet models offer a more intense, targeted massage. Typical air-jet systems have between 30 to 70 jets that propel air into the water. Pressure from the jets is equally distributed throughout the bath, creating an all-encompassing sensation. Some jet tubs come with heated back/head rests, which aid relaxation of the neck and back. You can customize the massage experience by combining effects of hydro-thermo massage, aroma therapy, sound therapy and chromatherapy.
Selecting a Tub
It is important when designing a bathroom and selecting a bathtub to think of the personal needs of the client. For instance, if the bathtub is for a child's bathroom or is for bathing a toddler, you will not want a tub that's too deep. The same applies to the elderly; an extremely deep tub can be nice for soaking but can make it difficult for older bathers to get in and out of. Remember grab bars if necessary.
Tub/shower combinations with doors that seal out the water can come with the option of a seat inside. These types of bathtubs can be used for the physically challenged. Keep in mind that the client needs to fit comfortably in the tub. I've asked clients to actually step into a tub in the showroom to make sure they are comfortable. A 5-ft. tub for a 6-ft. man would not be a wise choice.
]Also there are tubs specially designed for two people. The overfill drains are flat to not poke bathers in the back. Be aware of where you position the tub filler so it's not in anyone's way. Maintain a sense of proportion when selecting a bathtub so it doesn't appear out of place. I also know of a situation when clients wanted to remove a tub and replace it with a shower. The one-and-a-half-bath home would have become a shower-only residence, which realtors don't recommend.

I am now using 3 monitors in linux with the open radeon stack and xrandr so it does work.
I am now using 3 monitors in linux with the open radeon stack and xrandr so it does work.
On Slackware the upgrades usually work fine when you follow the documented procedure. If you have some manual kernel/critical services customizations you manually adapt them according to documented changes in the behaviour of the standard components (e.g. making sure udev runs at next boot instead of hotplug, tmpdevfs and such). You can even upgrade the whole OS while using it from a full X and KDE desktop session. So there is basically no downtime.
Most likely you are a suse user - there the linux partition was activated and grub was installed into partition. That works until you try to install a service pack. All you need to do is to install grub into the mbr and set the partition active with the Boot/BCD directory. When you do uefi installs this does not matter btw. but bios updates can kill custom (lets say non-ms) uefi bootloader entries, Win is usually autodetected in that case.
I wish the windows file system structure was a bit more KISS and windows would allow a bit more manual fixing.
I have been running the same archlinux installation for approximately 4 years on the fourth computer now with one failed (and of course fixed) migration from 32 to 64 bit now. And it's not a trivial installation, it's a fucking mess.
What do you do in windows if windows doesn't work anymore? It reboots into the boot assistant and checks for erros. I personally have never seen it find any error. But what then? Even editing the registry offline is a challenge...
This usually happens when you use multiply harddrives. Win has got the curious "feature" that when you install it creates 2 partitions, one 100 (now 300) mb partition for the Boot/BCD dir and the other is for Win itself. You can usually only select the second one, but the tiny one is usually created on the biggest drive with at least one primary partition left. I could only recommend that you remove all other hd when you want to install Win so that both partitions are created on the same drive. Noob users fail often when they wipe out the hd which the bootloader and then say update-grub does not detect Win. It can not be detected because the bootloader is missing. If you know what you do you can recover from that state as the bcd can be created with all Win installs added from a Win install media in command line mode (shift-f10) - minimal instructions:
a) Wipe out grub - in theory optional - but usually done
b) Create bootloader (Boot dir)Code:bootrec /fixmbr
c) Add win boot entries:Code:bootrec /fixboot
It's no huge surprise that multi harddisk systems fail to upgrade (especially with multi os) as the Boot dir does not get always detected (needs to be active). It is even more critical when you have added a differnet hd with an extra win install, then you have got more than one -> solution, only use 1 hd for win installs (and tried upgrades) and be sure that the partition with the win bootloader is active. Btw. if you change the uuid of the harddisk then this will render Win unbootable as well. This usually does not happen with grub, but efibootmgr -w has got a bug that always overwrites the uuid on mbr systems (only fixed in u 12.10). It happend for me with grub 2.00 from Debian experimental as well - with a system that usually boots via mbr for Win and gummiboot.efi for Linux. But grub 2.00 detected efi boot and installed it into efi - and killed my hd uuid. Here is how i recovered it:Code:bootrec /rebuildbcd

I must say that in general windows does actually "just work" a lot more often than various Linux distros in my experience.. oh and that osx too.
And I use a Linux desktop about 70% of my time. The other 30% are mostly Windows and I can't remember the last time I needed to "fix windows". Something I do monthly on Linux at the minimum. No thanks to stuff like systemd, dbus, pulseaudio, network manager and other horrible software ;-)

The room and other facilities are nicely built, but show signs of worn. This would make it not an international 5-star nowadays. The service of the reception staff is good and decent, but the SPA is one of the worst that I received. There was constantly a staff be with you even when you are changing; I am not sure if it's an Indian way of service (to be helpful at anytime), I did feel my privacy intruded. Also the SPA is not as nice as I thought. Other SEA countries' ones may perhaps be better. The hotel is also a bit far from small stores where you can get water or other decent food. The restaurants of the hotel are charging far over the standard (still cheaper than the EU or Japan counterparts, but not worth buying when compared to the local price level (a meal would cost you one month salary of the local people, does the quality worth it?

And I'm still trying to figure out how... At least I can get to Burt's often.
Any chance you can see them make the pie?
The caramelized crust is made by laying square slices of cheese up the side of the dough so that the corners stand about 1" above the crust. The cheese must melt over the crust and caramelize between the crust and the pan.
Any chance you can see them make the pie?Also, did you ever try the white cheddar around the rim?
I'm not sure I've tried white cheddar, but yellow cheddar didn't produce the desired effect. It seemed too dry, rather than caramelized. Mozzarella didn't work either.As for the crust thickness, he doesn't build up the edges.
After watching Bourdain's show and his stop at Burt's I recall it just being mozz that he uses. When forming the pie he doesn't pull the dough up the sides but creates a bowl effect with the cheese slices coming up the sides that melt down the sides and char during cooking. Loo

We've been asked on a number of occasions, questions like the following:
Does anyone know what the procedure is for suggesting a new merit badge?
A friend of mine thinks that offering
a merit badge on _______ would be of interest to Scouts.
But he doesn't know what to do with the idea.
He has some ideas as to what some of the requirements should be.
I think that the Cub Scout Sports program should include the sport of _____.
Before you write, asking for a new Belt Loop
for a sport like Karate, Tai Kwon Do, or Tackle Football,
please read our
explanation why we believe they are not included in the program.
We've also been asked questions like:
I think the requirements for the ___________ merit
badge or ______ rank should be changed.
Who do I complain to, or where can I may a recommendation for a change?
The answer to the questions above is very basic. A written request should be sent to the BSA "Innovation Engine", with general information about suggested requirements for the merit badge, or the suggested change.
You shouldn't expect a speedy reply. BSA receives more than 400 merit badge suggestions each year, and they typically don't act upon any of them for at least a year or two. The staff goes through the merit badge suggestions and recommends merit badges they feel appropriate; once the concept is approved, it goes to the Editorial Service to coordinate and compose the actual merit badge requirements and pamphlet contents, usually in conjunction with an outside organization appropriate to the subject. The entire process can take about three to five years. On the other hand, if there are a lot of Scouts and Scouters that feel that this deserves a chance (by writing to National in support of the new merit badge) the process can go a little faster. Hope this helps out!
The former Director of Boy Scout Advancement once gave these criteria for new merit badges:
- The new MBs need to promote a hobby or career interest and promote the aims of Scouting.
- When submitting an idea, you need to include the rationale behind the idea, as well as potential sample requirements for the badge.
- Nearly all of the ideas for new badges are turned down for one reason
or another, very few get tabled for consideration. Among the main reasons
for this.
- It takes around $75,000 or more to introduce a new MB due to creating the badges themselves, printing of pamphlets, and updating and printing of the Requirement book.
- As of December 22, 2011, there were 127 merit badges, with
two scheduled to be released in either late December 2011, or
early in 2012 (Welding and Kayaking). The total had
remained fairly consistent for nearly 30 years, ranging
from a high of 129 to a low of 116 since 1983.
Here's a table showing the total number of merit badges and how many were added and/or dropped over the years since 1983: The number for 2012 includes those announced as being scheduled for issue during 2012, even if they have not yet been officially released as of yet.
Period Added Dropped Total 1983-1987 1 118 1987-1989 6 5 119 1989-1991 1 120 1991-1995 4 124 1995-1996 8 116 1996-1998 1 117 1998-2003 2 119 2003-2005 1 120 2006- 2008 1 121 2009 1 122 2010 3 (plus 4 Historic badges for that year only) 129 2011 2 4 (Historic Badges) 127 2012 3 130
Changes, of course, don't require as complicated a process, but it still can take years for a change to be approved.
For the Cub Scout Academics and Sports Program, a similar process is used to identify possible new subjects and sports, and changes are implemented every few years, only when a new Program Guide is issued. The Academics portion of the program started with 12 subjects and increased by 5 in 2002 and 8 more in late 2009. There were originally 21 sports in that part of the program. The number of sports increased to 23 in 2002 and to 28 in late 2009.
For any advancement change, the request should be sent to the Innovation Engine Team, at the BSA's National Office. The address is:
Boy Scouts of America
1325 West Walnut Hill Lane
P.O. Box 152079
Irving, TX 75015-2079

Actual Innocence Awareness Database Archive
The Actual Innocence awareness database lists selected United States resources pertaining to wrongful convictions, selected from the popular media (such as newspaper articles and segments which aired on television news magazines), journal articles, books, reports, legislation and websites. The selected materials are classified into subtopics considered the primary causes of wrongful conviction: forensics/DNA; eyewitness identification; false confessions; jailhouse informants; police and/or prosecutorial misconduct; and ineffective representation. There is also a "general" topic for those materials which cover multiple subtopics or defy further categorization.
Please Note: We do not provide legal assistance; this is an information service only. If you have any questions or comments about this service, please contact Stephen Wolfson, reference librarian, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
New resources will be posted as they become available, and will be displayed on the website home page for two weeks; resources will then be classified and available by subtopic. URLs for popular media items (to the extent they are available) will drop off after two weeks in an effort to avoid broken links.
Article titles link to images of each article's first page, when available. The Library provides this service under the "fair use" provision of U.S. copyright law.

Are there any proven health benefits of green tea?
Are there any proven health benefits of green tea?
No, infact it actually kills you over time. Much like cigarettes.
Have a look at this link
How you expect to run with the wolves come night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies
Appetite Suppressant - Anti Oxidant - Raises Metabolism - Gives a kick ( bit like Coffee)
Definitely good stuff.
Alternatively... follow the link provided by the person above ^^^
I love it. If I have a whole pot I feel buzzing and like I sweated all the badness out.
Green Tea contains caffeine and should not be abused.
Drinking to much Green Tea can cause nerves to be over-stimulated, promote insomnia and make one anxious and irritable.
thanks folks for your post. i was really curious about this one
Slowly but surely green tea has begun gaining huge popularity in the West. Its natural aroma and widely acclaimed health benefits make green tea appealing to both tea lovers and non-tea drinkers.
green tea? i heard that Mega T company is giving back money if you did used this supplement. just saw it at megatsettlement.com
what's wrong???

Benjamin loves a good party, and he had been planning one for Valentine's Day since before we put away the Christmas tree. In January, he dictated his guest list: Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Jay… and soon after we discussed the importance of having Tootsie Roll Pops and red velvet cake.
The day of the party there were red streamers to hang and balloons to tape in place. Dishes to wash. A toilet to clean. Crowds at the store and crankiness among the boys at home — so much that I felt foolish for celebrating. How could I put the l-o-v-e banner on the China cabinet and invite people in when I felt my life was such a mess? How did my gift for my 5-year-old turn into a stressful burden?
So, I did what any reasonable mom would do. I put myself in time out. I snuck to the top of the stairs and sat there until I decided that I could celebrate even if things weren't perfect, that things like love and hope and joy were meant to stand in the midst of the mess. That they aren't a magical place that we arrive at but a choice we make all along the way. And if I couldn't choose hope and celebration over squabbling brothers and cobwebs, how would I ever choose hope when the real struggles hit? How could my feeble hope possibly anchor my soul?
I got downstairs in time to watch Benjamin arrange Little Hug Fruit Barrels in a circle around our heart candle and put the Swedish Fish in a dainty dish.
And smile.
And laugh.
And have a great party.
Thank you, all of you, for joining us for the 40 Days of Hope project. Each day during Lent, we'll share something about hope here — something that we pray inspires you or encourages you. We're also planning to share free journal pages for you to download, We don't quite have 40 yet, so if you'd like more information on submitting one, please click here.

Perceived inequities causing rift among county employees
"The way of doing business in Plumas County is wearing several hats," Public Works Director Bob Perreault told the Board of Supervisors during the board's Sept. 3 meeting as he sought to add a new job classification to his department.
But Perreault's request triggered a discussion that reached far beyond his own department.
"I know we come to the board as individual departments," Public Health Director Mimi Hall said. "But it affects the county as a whole."
Hall and other department heads were in the audience as Perreault sought to add the title of public works fiscal officer/administrative services manager to his department in recognition of the work that one of his employees is doing.
That employee, who has been categorized as a fiscal officer, has slowly taken on more duties over the years to the point that she is working out of her job classification at least 50 percent of the time.
Human Resources Director Gayla Trumbo had received, reviewed and investigated the request and recommended that the board recognize the employee's added duties with the new job title.
Trumbo provided the supervisors with a three-page detailed analysis of the reclassification.
Supervisor Sherrie Thrall said she knew the person who was holding the position and described her as "highly skilled" but questioned whether it would be possible to find another person to fit this job description if she were to leave.
"It doesn't feel right when you tailor a position to one person's abilities," Thrall said.
The reclassification also comes at a higher pay grade.
"It puts the top fiscal officers at odds in pay," Public Health Director Hall told the board. She noted that other departments such as social services and the sheriff's department had already made changes that resulted in disparity among fiscal officers.
Hall said this is occurring when county employees have not received cost-of-living adjustments and are taking home less in their paychecks due to increased costs for health insurance and retirement benefits.
"There are so many issues regarding pay," Hall said. "I know this is a sore subject for our employees."
"I echo what Mimi (Hall) said," Assessor Chuck Leonhardt agreed. "It creates issues."
Supervisor Jon Kennedy had met with Trumbo and Perreault previously about this job classification request and said he had all of his questions answered.
"Gayla (Trumbo) was very, very thorough," Kennedy said. "I learned quite a bit."
He said that he had "no doubt" that the individual deserved it, and noted that he had asked some "very prying" questions.
"My biggest concern is the job description," Kennedy said, as he also wondered what would happen when the individual left the job.
He said he supported the reclassification, but not retroactive pay.
Hall suggested that one way to provide more equity for the departments would be to add the "position of services administration officer across the board," which would allow more departments to better classify their employees.
The supervisors voted unanimously to approve the reclassification.
Assistant auditor
The board also voted unanimously to amend the job description for assistant auditor controller, but with almost no discussion.
Human Resources Director Gayla Trumbo told the board that it had been 18 years since the job description was last revised.
The position is currently vacant, and though the board in mid-August gave Auditor Roberta Allen authorization to fill the position, a revised job description was needed.
"As expected with any 18-year-old job description, revisions are necessary to accurately define this position for prospective applicants and future incumbents," Trumbo wrote in her recommendation.
Veterans services officer
The supervisors granted Public Health Director Mimi Hall's request to recruit and hire a full-time veterans services officer.
The position is currently being filled by an extra help employee working part-time, who recently completed the requisite training and passed the exam to receive certification as a veterans services officer.
Hall said that a full-time position is necessary to address the needs of the county's 2,500 veterans and their families.
Hall reminded the supervisors that veterans services used to have a staff of three.
Supervisor Lori Simpson worried about the perception that somebody had already filled the position that is subject to the competitive hiring process.
"I worry about how it looks," she said. "Like it's already a done deal."
Hall said the extra-help employee knows that he must apply for the job, and, if another applicant were to be selected, he or she would receive the necessary training and certification to fill the position.
Hall is also recruiting a half-time senior services director.
