First time that ever happened.:rotfl: I don't think that job pays much but if a guy gets his foot in the door there's an amazing amount of opportunity. SPI is a very progressive outfit and there seems to be very little turn-over in the forestry staff.

They're involved in every type of logging there is and I think that a green forester would be exposed to more opportunity to learn a wider spectrum of stuff than anywhere else.

One thing about that job...you'll really be in shape by the end of the season. Lot's of cow-face ground and no other way to check it but walk.

Thanks, I appreciate the info. I know it can be fairly hiking intensive (that's one of the things I enjoy about it.)

The wildland fire tech will be on some kind of fire fighting crew. The straight tech position will probably be a timber based position where one may hit a local fire. The crews generally travel to where the fires are.

Nice, thanks!

I started out at a two year school too. I am now about to finish my bachelors this semester after working for a while. I learned a heap more at the tech school and in the woods then anything at the four year school. However they seem like necessary evils now days.
