Im in Ma. and having a horrendous time finding a job. It was easier as a kid out of high school to get one than it is out of college. My field is natural resources, do any stoners have any interesting ideas about smart but cool jobs in this area?

the mass bay is like an inescapable vortex. im here starting my mj (almost done:) but i should be working at the same time as well. A dispensary is not possible at this time here as laws and money have yet to come around. i know some prospects out there are full of opportunity!!

You can always grab a Mcjob. Also I see alot of "successful" college graduates from my high school ringing the register at Target.

You should seriously look into getting in the environmental business. There is a huge demand for talent, especially young people that can get paid less and move if necessary.

My bro got a degree in geology. I got him a job out of school at a client of mine who does enviromental soil and groundwater testing. He started out operating a geoprobe, which is a big, or small depending on the job, well drilling machine. It's exactly like a water well, but a smaller diameter. They pull out samples of the soil, or drill into water, and take samples. They are tested for contaminents, like gas and oil, and all sorts of shit. Every commercial property for sale has to be tested, because if you buy the property, you now own the crap in the ground.

Anyway, you move up from there, and he now is a consultant. He stands around while the drilling is done, takes the samples to the lab, then produces a report about the findings. There are endless opportunities in this field........I wish I could start over.

There is no such thing as unemployment in this field......its actually growing as fast as the economy is failing. Trust me......it's the place to start!

thats the type of thing i want to do really, it seems like you always need a license or certification, and where do you find these people? it seems like everybody demands experience which is a hard place to start when you dont have it. where i am is dead in winter and hopping in summer so hopefully il see a turnaround with that at least!!

Start out by finding a job recruiter, and tell them what you want to do. They will work to find you a job in the field you want to work in. You might even be able to contact your former college and ask for a reference to a good recruiting (sorry for the bad spelling) agency.

If you're not afraid to get dirty and work hard, tell the recruiter that you would like to look for a job in geoprobe drilling, and learn by working how things are done in the business. Starting at this job will get you meeting the consultants from different companies, like ATC, and if you hit it off well with one, they'll help you move up. Starting in the drilling gives you a great job to show on a resume.

You'll even get to see and meet people in the analytical lab's that do the testing on the samples.....you might like that area. Talk to a recruiter that specializes in what you want to do, and they'll get you going.

Good luck out there......I've been unemployed for a year, and my wife was out for 2.5 yrs.....you're lucky because you're young and don't need to make what we need, just like all the other millions out of work.

Go get em'. Show real interest in learning, work hard for them, and you'll have a great life.

I suggst stopping smoking weed right away though. You will be tested everywhere you go. You'll also eventually need a CDL license if you go the remediation route to dive the trucks, so if you are serious about getting a good job, you need to give it up.......
