The Bottom Line -
Although there are only approximately 50,000 foresters in the United States, their work effects the economic and environmental well-being of the United States. This profession is very popular with high school graduates who are looking for opportunities to work in and around trees and forests.
The Society of American Foresters, in several surveys, indicate that the chances of getting hired in forestry are not encouraging. In fact, only 50% of graduate foresters find a job in forestry or related fields. Although a job does not exist for every graduate, this is still not very different from the other sciences and engineering jobs.
Forestry Careers' 146 pages are packed with information designed to provide an edge in your quest to find a job in forestry.
This VGM Professional Careers Series publication gives an in-depth, comprehensive report on forestry and forestry related careers. You will be well ahead of the crowd when using this book as part of you tool kit in finding a forestry job.
Opportunities in Forestry Careers will offer a crisp examination of the forestry world and give you up-to-date employment data and salary figures. It lists current technical schools and universities in North America and gives detailed advice on how to choose your career path and break into the field.
