Becoming a biologist for wildlife and fisheries is very hard to get into. If you don't have any connections, I wouldn't even bother with that route

Not saying you're wrong, but I don't remember it being this way when I worked for WLF. Field biologist jobs were plentiful--partly because they were low-paid degreed jobs.

This is a bit misleading. There are opportunities to make connections while getting your degree. If you can get an internship with the state, that helps and again, you can get one of those through connections you make while in school.

Not to mention the fact that their pay is terrible. I gave up on the dream of being an LDWF biologist years ago after I realized I made better money with the feds.
