[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I grew up in a pretty middle class, blue collar family and still was swayed by the idea of this type of career (although for me it was more "save the whales"). My parents supported this career trajectory (but lets be honest, would I have listened if they didn't?). After a few years of Americorps and similar low-paying internships post-undergrad I went back to grad school and it took my master's advisor saying, hey, you'd have a lot more options if you take some stats classes, to realize I needed a job that would provide enough salary to pay off my student loans. I still applied to the non-profits but ended up as a govt contractor and transitioned to a Fed a few years later. I guess what I'm saying is, it's not too late to obtain additional skills that would broaden your options. [/quote] How did you transition into a fed if you are not a vet [/quote]
