Other than tour guide and forest ranger, what careers will put you in nature?

Asked by lilikoi (10105points) January 28th, 2010

I am trying to figure out what I want to do for a living. For sure it must be full of adventure, require spending significant time in nature preferably in remote areas and/or places with restricted access that most people never get to see, require hands-on work and maybe writing, be a flexible work environment free of rigid or frivolous rules and/or procedures and without anyone breathing down your neck (at least so it feels like you work for yourself even though you may be under someone else), and preferably involve world travel.

To put it another way, I’d like to be able to use my Gore-Tex jacket and pack on a regular basis. And actually have to check the weather and marine forecasts on a regular basis.

I prefer working first with things, then with ideas, so tour guide or anything else that requires interacting with tons of people on a regular basis is out. I’ve also already considered forest ranger and that is not for me.

What job am I describing here?
