Is there overlap from Seasonal Range Tech positions to Forestry, or Should I commit to trying to find forestry positions immediately?
Completed my first 1039 Season this summer in Montana as a rangeland technician after graduating. Really liked the office, employees & the work. I have rehire status for this position, and so I functionally have this position next year, if I choose to do so.
My question is if returning back & getting GS-7 potential as a rangeland technician sort of, compartmentalizes me into range work. I got my degree in forestry, and would like to return to it eventually. It sounds like the government really likes narrow application of skills to define your expertise, and so I'm wondering if It'd be "okay" to return as a rangeland technician next year if it could still keep me moving and allow me to pivot to forestry as a GS-7 & above full time, eventually.
Or if I should just immediately start looking for forestry positions to get into that lane/industry earlier.
