JOBS
Summer jobs are available from the Student Conservation Association.
They advertize these as "Interships" and it mauy be possible
to arrange for internship credit but there is not direct relationship
between the two. Check out their web site by going to www.theSCA.org Most of you
will probably be interested in their conservation internships but there
are other opportunities.
Some of the following web sites provide salary ranges for ecologically
associated jobs. Only one web site was able to provide a summary
of job scales (for US government employees), which is:

The following other sites are job boards (a number of which include a
description of job skills and associated wages) which may be of interest
