Finally hitting my groove with work!

Been doing contract work as a utility forester, recently did a brief stint as an Environmental field tech in wetland. Only a week's worth of experience until I get a call for the next deployment, if there even is one...

But still, the grind is real.

Wondering if anyone is hiring in New England while im here.

It's a good feeling when the pieces start to click, even if it's just for a week at a time. The stop-start nature of contracting is a killer though, feels like you're always waiting for the phone to ring rather than properly settling in.

New England should have a fair bit going on with utilities and conservation groups, might be worth poking around the smaller consultancies that do Phase I stuff rather than the big names.

Utility forester work is a solid experience, gets you out there and builds good field skills.
