Thanks for the excellent responses. I suppose my boyhood dream of cruising around in a flatboat and big truck are not so cool in real life. lol
I definitely considered game warden route and the first thing i thought of was dealing with idiots who are for the most part armed, and the worse part skilled with that weapon. It appears my worries are a bit too true.
What i was really curious about is if they had alternate paths where I would deal with managing wildlife rather than managing humans who are causing problems in it.
Or if you could be promoted into a more favorable type of officer specializing in something else. Assumed they would have a similar route to the police department and had some type of detectives or investigators of some sort. Only way I would go the enforcement route is if there was some type of light at the end of the tunnel.
----
I will go ahead and email the HRM office, assume they would have someone that could offer me some guidance on career paths available.
(thanks slickback)

I suppose I will need to begin investigating plan B and consider getting involved in the Coastal Restoration efforts. I find this fascinating on many levels and also have a personal passion due to living on the water while growing up and watching the erosion occur. I believe they have a building on the LSU campus that specializes in this. But for this one i would need to live in Baton Rouge, and this may or may not happen since we haven't ironed out our exodus from rural Arkansas.

A friend of mine is majoring in coast and environment at LSU. He loves it.

Sounds like the work you are interested in with WL&F requires more of a biology type degree. If you went the enforcement route there are some specialized divisions that you can get into like task force and such but you better know some people in high places. Also, you may get assigned to work in an area that you pick but step on the wrong toes and your arse can be sent across the state.
from everything I heard if you are part of the "in" crowd you can move up quick. If not then you will remain at the bottom. Ive known people on both sides of this.

a friend of mine I graduated with in engineering took his degree and career path into coastal restoration efforts, he loves it. I think lsu now has a coastal engineering program also.
