[Lemur]

I write for anyone who will give me money. Of late, that has meant scripting corporate rah-rah videos for drug companies. Sometimes it means articles for magazines. Sometimes it means books. If involves typing and getting paid, I'm all for it, since that allows me to spend no time commuting and more time watching my little lemurs grow up.

Nice to see several other legal-oriented people out there. To the law students I have one piece of advice: work your butt off when it comes time to take the Bar. It's a major pain and you do NOT want to take it a second time.

[ICantSpellDawg]

I'm a salesman - I've sold luxury watches in the past for Tourneau (www.tourneau.com), I've sold boutique clothing for Club Monaco (www.clubmonaco.com) and I am currently selling supplements and sweetener made from Luo Han Guo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siraitia_grosvenorii) for a manufacturer called Newayceutical (www.newaynatural.com). Pays well, but isn't much fun.

I have my B.A. in History, but I don't like writing papers even though I am good at them, so a masters is out for the moment. I was thinking of law school a bit later on.

I am looking to stop being a salesman and get a job in Federal law enforcement, namely the United States Customs (http://www.cbp.gov/)

TinCow, I have no illusions on the difficulty of law school/the bar.

I'm also going to most likely get a masters in accounting (one year) if Penn State decides to offer one i time before I graduate. I need the extra year for the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) exam.

Much misery lies ahead for me :whip:, but hopefully it will be worth it.

[ajaxfetish]

I'm an undergraduate student, just about to get my BA in history.

I work part time in the campus writing center, helping other students work on their writing skills, and part time at a school for children with autism, helping autistic preschoolers learn to focus, interact, and communicate. It can be exhausting (and I don't think I could take a career at it), but the kids are adorable.

After graduation I plan to take a year off school to save up while researching and applying to grad schools (not to mention getting used to married life), and then I'm aiming for a doctorate in linguistics, and hopefully a teaching career.

TinCow I Do Realize the Bar Exam is quite difficult to pass, One of my Professors makes us do a section of the Bar as a Semester Final. If You pass it you go on, if not... you do the Semester all over again. Thankfully, I've passed em' all with flying colors so far. :2thumbsup:

I wouldn't say it's hard, so much as tedious. You just have to study really, really hard. If you do, you'll pass. If you don't, you'll probably fail. Every single person I know who failed just didn't study enough. If you make Bar study your job for 2-3 months before the exam, you'll be fine.

The main problem is that it takes so dang long to study for it that if you have to do it a second time, it'll butcher your life, especially if you have to work while studying. Far, far easier to get it right the first time, no matter how much it may ruin your social life at the time. Also, for the record, the Bar exam is just a hazing ritual used by the legal system. It is entirely useless for real legal practice.

Don't get me started on annual bar fees.

Forest Manager, in charge of 5000 acres of communauty-owned forest. Ruling every aspect of human activity within my range.

Hmmmm. Interesting.

If you care to go into detail, I'd be delighted to listen. :sunny:

[pevergreen]

In spite of myself, I'm actually very interested!

Please do go on.

[Tristuskhan]

OK, here we go, the job is quite complex...

I'm employed by the French National Forestry Office. After beeing lumberjack for five years and beeing wounded badly, I was able to graduate an advanced level in forestry and could enter the ONF (5th out of 812 candidates, a bit proud of it).

I'm theorically in charge of the forests belonging to 12 different communauties (small villages under 50 souls for most), a total 3000 acres. Since our numbers are severely depleted I must take care of 2000 more acres belonging to three more communauties.

I have two kinds of forests: beech, marple, and ash-based on the (steep) slopes over the river Doubs, and more or less flat oak and wild cherry stands.
Plantations occur for less than 10%, dying spruce and healthy firs, a few Douglas and larchs too.

We practice natural regeneration whenever we can, the soils are rich.

So my job is: selecting the trees that should be fell on clearings or regeneration cuts, selling them (standing or felled, it depends of the wood's quality), supervising the lumberjack's work and make sure the communauties use enough of the sale's money for sylvicultural or infrastructure works I program.

I have to manage hunting too, in order to keep balance between vegetation and livehood (no natural predators for deers and boars, that's a problem), I have to convince the communauties that a dry standing oak is not a source of firewood but a fantastic environment for an incredible amount of endangered species!

The trunks are sold, the branches are used by the locals for firewood.
That's probably the worst of my job:wall: People are kind but work like donkeys. Letting loose the hogs on the saplings and the soil's structure.:furious3: I've been kind since I just began the job but next year... 80 euros fine for the mad drivers.

That's a few aspects of the job, more to come if you want.

[Beirut]

That's a few aspects of the job, more to come if you want.

Wonderful. Thank you. Sounds like you have a real system in place. No unauthorized cutting and little if any waste.

It seems like you/they take the forests seriously. Are the French as protective of the trees as the Germans? (I've heard you can't even look at a tree in Germany without a permit.) Here in Quebec, we are at the tail end of La Grande Massacre Arboreal. Maybe a few more years left, but after that I think we'll have little choice but to adopt very restrictive measures.

Which chainsaws do you use?

[Caius]

Ahem, too off-topic, but here we kill our trees to plant more soy. What a shame.

[Tristuskhan]

Which chainsaws do you use?

I was a Stihl afficionado when I was a lumberjack, but I used an Husqvarna to scratch my own leg. Both brands are good but I prefered the sound of Stihl (Husqvarnas whistle). Few professionnals also use Oregon, but it's uncommon.

We are protective of trees in France but we have much more dynamic sylvicultural models than Germany (harder clearings, that's the reason why we have fewer windfells). Apart of that we are very protective: forests are common wealth that must be managed on the long term. And when I say "long term", it means that we think and work for year 2100 at least. My girlfriend thinks I have a strange relation with Time. Ten years is a short term for me:yes:

More of the job: long term management plans. Forests are analized every twenty years and the harvest is planned (date, frequency and quantity). The clearing process is based on the idea that a good quality tree must be given room to grow as long as it produces valuable wood. So only the worst are felled in clearings, the best are kept to produce the next generations of saplings until the final regeneration cuts (trunks of mature oaks are sold an average 250 euros per cubic meter, sometimes more)

[Ja'chyra]

Safety Manager for things that make a rather large bang.

[Banquo's Ghost]

The discourse between you gentlemen reminds me of a story I was once told to illustrate the idea of sustainability.



Some years ago, it was discovered that the great oak roof beams of New College, Oxford were beetly. (New College was founded in 1379, which often confuses visitors, but the explanation is a trifle distracting).

This discovery caused great consternation when reported to the College Board. Beetly beams have to be replaced, and swiftly, for such visible signs mean imminent collapse. Where on earth would they find oak of such quality and dimension? How on earth would they pay for such wood, if found? Did the college face a future with its mediaeval glory shored up by concrete joists?

A young Fellow rather cheekily suggested that since there was a "College Forester" on the rolls - bearing in mind that institutions of this age would have had many such ancient positions, usually held in honorarium by an equally ancient don - perhaps they should ask him for advice. Being bereft of other choices, the Board agreed and summoned the gentleman of the forest.

The Fellows questioned him closely, once he had recovered from the shock of being invited to the great hall. He and his staff were responsible for managing the tracts of wooded estate bequeathed to the College over centuries by alumni. (Most colleges have quite substantial estates across the kingdom, and Oxford is nearly a thousand years old with some rather influential and wealthy alumni).

The Forester was taken aback by the question. "Well sir," he growled in a low voice, "We was wonderin' when you would ask that."

It turned out that when the College was founded in 1379, a grove of oaks was planted on their first bequest of land. These oaks were destined to replace the beams of New College when they got beetly, because in those days they knew well that oak beams always get beetly.

This plan had been passed down from College Forester to College Forester for six hundred years. "You don't cut them oak trees. Them's for the roof of New College Hall!"

With relief, the College Board was able to order the felling of the oaks and the replacement of the beams. Wisely, acorns harvested from those oaks were planted again on the plot and entrusted to the care of new generations of Foresters, for the inevitable time when the oak beams of New College once again become beetly.


Now that, gentlemen, is sustainability - and the nobility of your profession.

Hee hee. I'm actually no where near enough up the food chain to be pointy-haired boss, though I frequently refer to myself that way to take the edge off when I have to crawl up one of my guys.

I'm actually more engineer than manager still, though I'd be happy to trade pride and futile 'technical credentials' for more money and no responsiblity any day of the week.

In other words, I'm ready for Marketing.
