You get a degree to work indoors. You don’t need a degree to work outside.

I read through this thread and something you may try is seeing what community colleges offer. You may be able to find something that an associates degree will accomplish.

There are lots of geologists in oil and gas.
Not nearly as many as there once was. Geology for the non conventional plays are extremely simple and redundant compared to conventional plays. Especially offshore plays around salt domes.

There’s a degree for that?
Is that a serious question?
You need to look at what you want to do, and then figure out what degree you need for that.

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 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.

Learn to code. Work remote from your camp in the woods I kid of course but working remote has opened a lot of opportunities to work anywhere including the woods if you can get an internet connection.

According to LDWF website, you only have to meet ONE of the following to get into the Wildlife Agent Academy:
Two years of experience as a Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Level 1 certified peace officer in a full-time position, whose job duties include armed duty with the power of arrest
A minimum of 60 semester hours from an accredited college or university
Any two-year combination of the previous two options (30 semester hours are equivalent to one year of experience)
Completion of an associate degree from a technical college. Accumulation of technical college hours without an associate degree does not qualify
A completed diploma or certificate in a two-year program from a vocational or technical school
Four years of continuous active military duty (all military occupational specialties are included).

La Tech has a professional land surveyor undergraduate certificate. 30 hours and you're out the door
^^^^This right here! My brother owns a land surveying company. Reliable help is impossible to find and the pool of licensed surveyors shrinks every year. He said all the young people get the degree but don't want to work outside so they do the drawing part of it not the field work. It is not easy work but herakes in the money.

Lafayette you should pursue plant maintenance no degree necessary. Now go get me a sky hook and left handed crescent wrench
That would probably be a bad choice in Lafayette unless you like driving. Plant baws need to move east, southeast, or west to have a reasonable selection in an easy driving distance.

Saw that, don’t live in Ruston anymore though unless some of it can be done online and I can travel there to do classes where I need to be there. I’m a look at ULL also and see if it’s offered here. Wonder what the outdoors part consists of? I don’t mind working out in heat or anything. I’ll obviously google about it but maybe someone here does it and has experience with it also
