Forestry as a Profession When choosing a profession to pursue a career in there are many steps to go through before a decision can be made. It is very important to choose something that will not only be profitable, but also something one can be interested in and enjoy. It is also important to do plenty of research on the potential career to make sure there will be jobs available after schooling and that there will be benefits other than the money. For those who enjoy the outdoors, love conservation, and prefer a low stress work environment, forestry is a great option to consider. Foresters, or conservation scientists, typically manage overall land quality of forests, parks, and other natural resources. Most people are under the misconception that foresters work in the woods all day, and sometimes that is the case, but there are all kinds of work environments for someone with a forestry degree. Forestry is a profession that requires a great deal of education and experience, offers many job opportunities and stability, and also suits those living in south Mississippi. A career in forestry generally requires a bachelor’s degree in forestry or another related field from an accredited college ("Summary"). A bachelor’s degree in forestry would include classes such as basic sciences, liberal arts, and mathematics, plant identification, and forestry
