I'm a park ranger for the State of Maine. We aren't divided up into interpretive/law enforcement/maintenance classes here. We have to be jacks of all trades (or in my case, a jill). I clean toilets, give nature walks, enforce rules and regulations, mow lawns, build bridges, paint buildings and picnic tables, shingle roofs, cut down trees, and maintain trails. I also fill in for the park naturalist, the manager and the "receptionist." The receptionist is the person stuck in the booth collecting fees and answering the phone. We like to let ours out once in a while to keep them sane.

For the most part, I love my job. The few drawbacks are low pay and the fact that it is a seasonal position, but I've been with the state long enough that I'm on permanent re-hire status and have a tidy nest egg in my pension account. Like RangerSteve, I can't think of anything else I'd rather do, and also like RangerSteve, probably not qualified for anything else.
