Fish and Game Wardens

Doing volunteer work at a fish and wildlife facility is a good way to get some experience in this field and to determine whether you would like to pursue a career in the area. Of course, it would be ideal to volunteer for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, but serving with other environmental organizations can be very useful as well. College students—and even students at select high schools—can apply for formal internships with various wildlife agencies. These can usually provide college (or possibly high school) credit and may even pay a small stipend.
