This is probably not the right place, but I am about to graduate from LSU (poli sci) and have no clue what I want to do. I love the outdoors, I have some military experience, I am not looking to do law school. I am looking to see if anyone here could help jumpstart my thinking.

Damn boy, you are supposed to decide that before you pick a major, not after you graduate...

Surveyor
I always thought if I quit my current profession and wanted to get outside, I would go to surveying.

Take a few years off and hire out as a hunting guide. Enjoy life hunting for a few years then bounce to an island somewhere and be a fishing guide/ Bartender.... Ahh the life.....

Go find Rodgers thread and move to Alaska for the summer. That's what I would do.

National Forest Service
With military expeience you are ahead of the civi's who apply. Wife works for em, seems pretty laid back. You could be a pao or something like that. Any like the military you can move around the country. If you try and get a lesser paying job, get it. Once your in you can move up and around. My wife has no college and started as a gs-1, now she's a gs-7. Not big money, but you get all the benny's.

(poli sci)
congrats on having a worthless piece of paper.
Now that the ball busting is out of the way, don't become a LDWF Agent, you'll hate your life and the outdoors even more. You just end up spending all your time in a boat or in the woods trying to catch people that you start to hate being out there. Not to mention all the hours you'll put in only to have judges more concerned about Leroy or Jimmy and their back child support or possession charges and usually just slap your guys on the wrist.
Somebody said move to Alaska, do it. You're young and probably no family (assuming) so go do it. Dont bring all your stuff, just enough to get you going and roll out for a few months or a year.
The National Park Service is pretty good too, and like somebody said your military experience will carry over as time served.
A federal Fish and Parks Refuge Officer/Special Agent is an option too. They have Rangers that are assigned to certain areas, like say Bayou Savage, and you just work that refuge or go for the Federal Green Jeans, but refer back to my 1st paragraph.
Surveyor is a pretty sweet gig, I have a cousin thats been doing that for awhile in Austin and loves it. He makes good money now too. You can also try the USGS as well.

Get in contact with Rogertheshrubber, they may have some jobs left in Alaska. I called about a week ago and they had a few positions left. The Jeep tour guide sounded pretty awesome if you like the outdoors. I almost took it but got a few interviews for full time work (in my field) soon after.
