    Ok, out of all the informal videos that I’ve looked up regarding forest ranger jobs, or national part jobs, I wish they were more organic like yours. It combines beauty with actual LIFE. The other ones make me feel like I’m going to have to really REALLY be tough on myself to make it into a position. I’m sure you do, I want to go back to college to work in some sort of wildlife career but I like this better.

    I did a summer season in yellowstone in 2018 and wooo this video brought back great memories. Anyone that is considering seasonal work I highly encourage you to just do it. You will meet the coolest people and everything she said in this video described my friends out there perfectly. Great video :)

    What a wonderful walk down memory lane. I worked in Yellowstone in the summers of 1974 and 1975 (Yes, I am old), and they were the best summers ever! I also fell in love, made life long friends. It's been 50 years (50 years!) and I still keep in touch with several of them still. My hubby and I travelled to Washington state to see one of my friends last summer, and my hubby said we acted like a couple of 20-year-olds. Cherish your time in national parks. Best ever!!

    I came across this channel while binging Outdoor Guide videos. I am taking my first step into Outdoor Education, this August at a College in VT. You embody what I love in people. I don't know how to explain it but your: (what working in a national park is ACTUALLY like) video sums it up. I hope I have as much fun as you and get to experience this new sense of purpose.

    • @chop471
      @chop471 2 роки тому

      @@jeffareyan2197 it's all just a matter of opinion, of course. If towns and restaurants are a big plus for you, the west side is definitely where you'll want to be. But the wilderness is so much more "intense" on the east side. The Many Glacier Valley is often called the heart of the park. The hiking and mountain climbing are world class on the eastern side. Personally, when I was a seasonal worker, I didn't care much about towns and whatnot. I was there to explore the outdoors.
      Having said all that, the western half of the park is still breathtaking.
