Outdoor Jobs

Outdoor jobs are becoming more attractive for many reasons. For one thing it frees one from the confines of an office, and second, these jobs provide good opportunities to make decent money. While there are several options available, the following, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, have the highest demand.

Landscape Architect

Landscape architects design spaces for the public and private sectors, and they’re usually employed in the creation of parks or the areas around government buildings and highways. Recent statistics show that the demand is highest from the private sector though, particularly in the design of green spaces around offices, residential homes or parking lots. Given this fact, it’s not surprising demand for them is on the rise.

Surveyor

The surveying industry has recovered and there’s now growing demand for them in many sectors. According to the latest stats, the demand will grow 25% until 2020 as

the need for experts in setting boundaries for water, airspace and land continue to increase.

Surveyors are very much in demand because they can work for firms, oil companies, homeowners and any individual or company that’s involved in construction. Surveyors can work anywhere in the US, but license is required for each state they intend to work in.

Archaeologist

Certainly one of the most popular outdoor jobs, the word archaeologist brings up images of someone digging ruins in search of bones and artifacts. However, many archaeologists are also involved in data processing or work for the government for various projects like road construction. Prior to any construction, an archaeologist has to be consulted to ensure no artifacts will be damaged.

Pest Management Technician

A pest management technician is the person you call when your home is infested by roaches, bedbugs and other pests. It’s for this reason why they’ve always been in demand and job growth is projected at 26% until 2020.

Pest management is a complex task, and technicians have to learn how to manage and control unwanted pests. And what makes this job very enticing to many is a college degree isn’t required, and you can earn a decent salary up to $30,000 annually.

Termite Service Technicians

Apart from general pest control management, you can specialize in termite control. As a termite control technician you’ll be tasked with removing termites in homes and commercial establishments. Unlike regular pest management control, special training is required as you’ll be carrying special equipment for drilling and digging.

Environmental Scientist

The demand for environmental scientists is not as high as the other jobs here, but if you’re one of those who are truly concerned about Earth and want to make a difference, this is the right job as it puts you right in the middle of the action.

Environmental scientists perform different tasks, but mostly they identify the problems plaguing the environment and find solutions. They also have to monitor various ecological conditions and collect data for further study. While it is one of the more challenging outdoor jobs, it is also one of the most rewarding.
