How do you survive a bad seasonal job? (Career advice)
So I’m in my second seasonal job working in natural resource. I jumped from the National Park Service where I found everyone was really passionate about preservation and we would compared Inaturalists to the BLM where I’m doing range work in a place where we probably should not be grazing. The more I learn about range the less and less I feel it’s right for me. I’m not saying that my coworkers don’t care but they just have a priority that doesn’t align with mine. I won’t go any farther into the weeds cause of how small this field is.
While the skills I’m gaining and practicing are great at the end of the day I’m just not happy. The one thing that been keeping me going is that I only have two months left with a follow up job at home with an organization I actually know and respect. And that I can travel to a lot of special spaces within only a few hours.
But yet I’m still working 40 hours a week trying to survive. How do you guys handle such situations during the seasonal roulettes?
