Re: Getting a permanent job in Ecology is so hard for a budding ecologist, please hel

Well I didn't know such a subject would spark off such a big debate about bats and consultants! Calm down everyone!

Well I am now back to square one, my contracts as an ecology field surveyor ended and there really are no assistant level jobs out there, what with winter and the recession...I am just hoping that the jobs will come out in the spring again. I gained a lot of experience this year and should be far more employable, so I have just got to hope I can get a permanent job next year. That really is my dream. So I have set myself a goal, which is to get a permanent ecology job by next august, otherwise after 3 years of trying I will give up and become a biology teacher! I am 25 and still cannot believe I have not really started a career yet. It feels like I have had the carrot dangled in front of me for far too long now...
