OP request.
The first problem to contend to is my location. Personally, I'd like to work with BLM or the County Admin, but USFS is the only agency with vacancies right now. Unfortunate, but nothing to be done there.
The second problem is the type of work available for my education level. Positions are done on a Grade System, and I'm only eligible for Grade 3 and below (1 year of college experience). Now, if I can get my A.S. I'll jump to Grade 4 or even Grade 5, but that won't be for another 6-12 months.
The third problem is all the positions at my level are seasonal. I won't start until around April, perhaps March at the earliest. And employment will end in October, so after that point I'll need to re-do the entire process.
The fourth, and final problem is that the entire process is online based. I can go into the field offices and introduce myself (and have already done so), but it won't make any difference to my being employed by USFS or not. And it depresses me.
TL;DR: Dreams and personal aspirations suck.
