I'm going to be going to college and i'm going to have to work between year one and year two of school for a required minimum of 10 weeks.. this has to be in the natural resource field the schools website says... The course i am taking is advanced forest technology which also includes wildlife ( in the advanced part of the course) what i was wondering is what are some of the jobs in these fields so i can start thinking on which one i am going to aim for.. thanks

K, of course... i've got some iced tea and some pepsi in the fridge, a veggie tray and some salad dressing want some lol

thanks for the introductory letter link that'll help tons.. only one problem though that i think you might of forgotten.. i'm canadian and i live in canada so the list of companies you used wont really help me much but i'm sure we have branches of the same things here .
I know i'm in for the ride of my life. i'm going to work my butt off because theres a 60% fail rate and i am determined to not be in that grouping

KUXJ

I thought you'd never ask! I'm famished!! Darn! ,I forgot the toms.

Your welcome.


Okay 'bout the list, but the MCOFT link is Canadian.


That's the spirit!!

binx44

yes you are right. the MCOFT link is canadian hehe.. awwww you forgot the toms.. bad K bad... LMAO . There were three women in the college last year and the year before there was 1 and the year before there were two women. I am determined to show that us women do have what it takes to be in a male dominated scientific/environmental field

What's your Alma Mater? MCOFT?

Depending on the curriculum, you might have to carry a firearm. Are you up to that?
or
Isn't that on your list?


btw....you asked the other day what JD's 110.2F would be in C, 43.4C

binx44

hmm lets see if i remember correctly Alma Mater technically refers to which college or university somones has or had attended.... If it is and i was right lol.. then i've Attend Nova Scotia Community College (this was for completion of grade 12 instead of writing my GED [it looks better to complete it at the college then through a GED program] ) ICS Canada is an online college (recognised and accredited) that i am taking my wildlife and forestry conservation course at. And Maritime College Of Forest Technology is where i am enrolled at as of this september i will be going.
All my life i've been around guns. BB guns, Pellet guns, shot guns , rifles. i've hunted , fished, trapped, Guns dont bother me in the least bit, though neither does blood and dead animals (hunting sure hardens people up when it comes to that) now people blood is a totally different thing lol That grosses me out a little bit . And Yes when i go to Holland College in Prince Edward Island for 16 weeks i will be doing firearms courses. And at MCOFT in the advanced course i do believe they give you a course for FireArms Safety

KUXJ

Well.......”Technically”, but you answered my question.

Don't be surprised when at Holland, they have you go through a SWAT course to see how you do under pressure. You wouldn't want to shoot any mother's with their baby carriages. Check into it, prepare yourself, knowledge is power.

Do you know of North Coast Seafood out of Massachusetts?

Nope i have not heard of North Coast Seafood out of Massachusetts. What aquaculture practice do they use? species they raise?

I could see them possibly doing that. i know there is an extensive medical and mental testing you have to do also.. I handle the every day stresses and pressures quite well and have been in some real stressful accident situations, even one hunting accident that thankfully i was not involved in and i kept my cool then. i'm positive i could handle alot of things but one never knows until one goes through it themselves... thanks for the link k i'm going to check it out now once i'm done my farming game on facebook lmao
