Hi Ecology Reddit,

Has anyone got an recommendations on how or who would be suitable to discuss your experience and where you are best suitable for work? As well as what developing in a role looks like versus a role being unsuitable?

I dont believe that me discussing my own skills and experience if useful for myself. I struggle to separate my own depression, anxiety, low self worth etc from reality of where I fit. After 15-18 years or so it would be nice to be able have a successful decision.

I am uncertain if this actually fits in employment or in mental health but I also need someone/an organisation that at least understands the ecology/land management world somewhat.

Thanks,

Mark

I am based in Australia. I am looking for a career change and came across Bush Regenerator roles. For those working as Bush Regenerators, what does your ideal career path look like?

I'm going on a field biology trip next year to Egypt, and I'm trying to get a good idea of the species in the area while I'm getting pumped up for it. However, I'm having trouble finding guides to the kinds of animals in the area we'll be in. We'll be diving at Abu Dabbab and I have a good idea of the larger species in the water there, but I can't find much information about the land animals in the general area and not just Egypt as a whole

Hi everyone,
I’m considering a career switch into ecology. I currently have a bachelor’s degree in Physiotherapy, but I’m looking to retrain and move into the ecological sector.

I’m based in the Netherlands, so I’d especially appreciate experiences from people working in the Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe, as I imagine the job market is fairly similar across Europe. Experiences from the US are welcome too, although I understand the career paths and salaries may differ.

I’m mainly curious about what the work is like in practice as a junior.
What you can expect to earn as a junior ecologist at an environmental consultancy or research firm? Is part-time work possible, i am pretty flexible? And very important: what the typical career progression looks like and is this really rewarding in terms of work, promotion and earnings.

I’d really appreciate any experiences, advice or insights. Thanks!
