I have just finished my phd in Ecology and your commentary worries me
I found very difficult even to find a volunteer job. I am very enthusiast and I have left happy bosses with my part time jobs. However always looking for a volunteer job or a paid job in nature it is just too difficult. They ask too many things that I wonder if I will have a job one day in this sector. Sometimes I have the impression that the jobs given are only for a exclusive circle of people related.
Maybe the children of someone that work in a reserve have more posibilities than someone coming from the exterior.... I just wonder
How we can get more experience if they never want to give jobs to people without too much experience?
