After seeing that National Park Documentary by Ken Burns, what kid wouldn't want to grow up to be a Park Ranger? Do you think any kids watched it? Well, there is an opening at Biscayne National Park. You get a neat uniform and a salary range of $49,225 - $63,993. Beware job seekers, they require a "Pre-Employment Background Investigation." Here are your duties:

Develops and implements community outreach, partnership, and education programs and activities. Assists the park staff in developing and implementing a BioBlitz outreach plan and proactively represents the park to the print and broadcast media as a means of connecting the public nationwide to Biscayne and helping the public to understand National Park Service resources, mission, and regulations.

If they would let me bring five horses, two cats, two goldfish and an Irish Setter, I just might do it :)
