Wildlife biology and game management are great fun, but require a lot of science and math. They do not pay well.

A joke among the graduate students at Univ. Wyoming was that a student had to get a MS to dig ditches on a US FWS Refuge. There is some truth to that, less education will be required for a job with a state Game & Fish agency than with the feds, but still a lot o f science and math.

Another option is teaching at a nature center type place (one of my own former grad. students teaches at a really nice one in a National Park, but he has a PhD). There can also be some jobs in state park dept.s or in larger city parks depts. Or high school biology. Or an env'l group (if he really wants a low paying but rewarding job).

The rewards are there, but non-monetary. As with most fields the education requirements go up and up over time, so what was required for a recent hire will be a lot more than for a guy hired decades ago.

Good luck!
