I work at a 10'000+ acre private nature reserve. I maintain and upgrade our hiking and ski trail network, all of our equipment, vehicles, a dozen rental cottages and a whole bunch of campsites.

Debating between going back to my bio school background via probably bioinformatics but for now really like working outside with my hands. Starting to build custom furniture and repair equipment on the side.

Cant imagine doing one type of job for more than handful of years, at least for now.

My background is in ecology & evolutionary biology, and I think your job is wild. ;) Many of my (ex-)colleagues spend a lot of time camping in various places doing fieldwork. Do you spend a lot of time with cool animals/plants at the reserve?
