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 continually trying to find opportunities to enter this particular employment niche.

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.
