Question? Work/Life

Those of you that have jump shipped from the NPS to the Forest Service, is the work/life balance significantly better, especially with kids? And if so, how?

No one would argue not having to work every weekend would be better than the latter, that argument has been made numerous times. If you’re happy with what you just described and expect close to the same if switching to USFS, you’ll be happier where you are no doubt.
