It's useful work, and you sit on top of a mountain and don't see another human for weeks at a time. Sounds like the perfect job.

Get a degree in forestry, and apply with the forestry service?

If I could bring my phone and all the ice water I can handle (and a gun for snakes and spray for hornets), I would take this job for a paycut in a heartbeat.

But dozens around the country have survived and are available for rent, evolving into modest sources of revenue for the U.S. Forest Service’s depleted accounts. The Forest Fire Lookout Association maintains a list of available towers; many are available for as little as $20 a night.

The towers in the south are only used when there is an actual fire.
Get on with the forest service

I wouldn't mind a job like that, especially since mine is very fast paced and deadline driven
