Mountain Biking Environment
What are some jobs that relate to the environment?
I’m in high school, and I think I might enjoy a job (after college, and possibly grad school) that relates to the outdoors in some way. I just don’t know what that job might be. I like science and have been considering a bio-chem major. I like hiking, mountain biking, skiing, and running. I know I don’t want a job that involves me being stuck in a cubicle.
Other careers that I’m considering included: lawyer, doctor, veterinarian, surgeon, and psychiatrist. However, I’m curious as to what more outdoor-centric careers are.
Thank you for your time!
Check out this website from Princeton Review. It has a good list of outdoor / environmental careers.

Internships or volunteer opportunities can often help you decide what you want to do. I’d suggest applying for programs both now and while you’re in college in a variety of areas. You’ll be able to try it out before investing your career in a particular area. The experiences will help you decide what to do — hopefully you’ll stumble across your passion and build a career out of it.
You could also try a career personality quiz to help you decide:

And you can speak with your guidance counselor at school for more info.
Good luck!
