Hey guys, I've been on this board for a while now and I'm looking into careers in forestry. I'm Irish and there's opportunities for studying abroad like America. What can I expect from this kind of job area?
NAU in Flagstaff, AZ used to have one of the top rated Forestry Programs in the world, not sure now.

Nothing. There are no jobs in America without a significant lifetime investment (aka debt slave), or you know somebody on the inside (aka cronyism).
My good friend has a degree in Forestry, as far as I know you either work for a logging company or the state or federal government.

Better off working in European forestry mate, you'll live longer.

My friend just graduated from uni in Aberdeen a few years ago and works in forestry in the west coast of Scotland. He found it really easy to get a job.

From my experience with chainsaws, you can expect back pain. Your particular area of pain will vary I guess, but for me it's the back.
