They actually were impressed with my story about how I am a corporate lawyer wanting a huge change and would be willing to move States and that I had a lot of managerial experience that I could apply to being a ranger--there is actually a lot of bureaucracy & management stuff rangers have to do now.

Not flame when I was a 3L I scored a phone interview with Yosemite National Park to be a contracting officer. I would work in the park itself and do contracts with park suppliers. Would have paid GS-11 so yeah roughly $45k, with promotion to GS-13 after 6 months.

They were really excited about me but I turned them down for a job in DC.
