Don't have a college degree?
So what?
A college degree isn't required for most jobs with the National Park Service. Read the Park Ranger Careers Handbook and find out how you can qualify without a degree.
I personally know two National Park Service Superintendents making over $100,000 a year without a college degree!
I also have a friend who worked his way up to Associate Regional Director without a degree. In fact, he didn't even finish high school -- earned a GED in the Navy. After 40 years with the National Park Service, he's now enjoying a very nice retirement.
Don't underestimate yourself! Common sense, people skills and a strong work ethic will take you a long way.
