I thought that was pretty shocking and probably a freak occurance but gave me some hope that perhaps there isn't as much people up here applying for ranger jobs. Perhaps anyway haha.


Oh and I'm sure teaching isn't that bad Chris! Haha, teaching is my back-up incase all goes wrong, the only thing that puts me off is unwilling kids! But it gives you a good chance to brain-wash kids into caring about the environment, if they ever listen!

Cheers again

Four candidates for a rangers job? You could be in the prime area for getting a rangers job with statistics like that!
Before I go, teaching really is that bad! Saying that, the missus is a Maths teacher and quite likes her job. Maybe I'm being a trifle hard on the profession. I think I find all work rubbish. I'd rather go for a walk.
