If you live near Ruston, go to Tech and get a Forestry degree. They have a kick arse forestry program. Edit - NM - see you live in Lafayette. Check with ULL and see if they have a forestry program
Go to Ruston often to see family but yea I’m in Lafayette now, I’ll look in to it at ULL

Take a high quality aptitude test. Maybe find out what you are geared to do first?
Never taken one, I’ll look into that also, don’t know where to find to take a good one

I know a dude who graduated with some kind of agriculture degree from LSU.
He works for the state going out to bodies of water in a certain region of the state testing water in certain areas, etc.

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

Outside property claims adjuster is a career where a degree is preferred, but not required.
Work outside some and work from home. Starting pay is between $55-60k and you get a company car. Set your own schedule, very autonomous career.

Lots of demand for arborists and there are paths to ISA certification with or without a degree. Oregon State has a good online Urban Forestry program. Believe it or not, but Southern University has a nationally recognized Urban Forestry program. Natural Resource Management, Environmental Science, Arboriculture are other options. People love the work. You can work as a climber, spending your day up in trees.
Surveying is another option. Workforce is aging and they need new talent.

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.

And unless you're frac'ing wells in the Permian or Haynesville, you're not in the field.

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.

They went through a period where they essentially had a hiring freeze. If a job did open up in one of the main cities, they would have 200-300 applications. This was around 10 or so years ago.

You'll have no job or house so you'll be outdoors all the time.

agriculture degree
My niece majored in agriculture and genetics at A&M. She ended up at Glaxo Smith Klein and eventually Pfizer.
She just does swing trading now and got out of pharma.
The only reason she majored in agriculture is because she didn’t want to starve while trying to become an actress and/or singer.

Figure out what it takes to be a game warden and do that. Unless, you're a felon.

Skip the degree and become an environmental technician. You take samples at the plants and you’re outside almost everyday. They’ll be some travel but you basically take the samples geos and engineers use in their reports.
