Requirements to become a forest/park ranger vary depending on the agency. You should definitely get a college degree if you can. Getting a college degree is one of the best things that you can do. Some majors that you might want to consider include biology, criminal justice, earth and mineral sciences, forestry, natural resource management, park and recreational management, sociology, or wildlife resource management. Getting forest/park ranger jobs and other law enforcement officer jobs can be very competitive. Whatever school you choose, and whatever major you choose, make the most of your time and money while in college. Get the highest grade point average that you can, participate in a couple extracurricular activities, get a good internship, do some regular volunteer work, don't do anything illegal, and maintain a good reputation.

Consider state and federal jobs. In addition to park ranger jobs, you might also want to consider game warden or conservation officer jobs, and other federal law enforcement officer jobs such as Uniformed Law Enforcement officer for the United States Forrest Service or Special Agent or Wildlife Inspector for the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Do whatever you can to make yourself the best candidate that you can. For example, don't do anything illegal, maintain a good reputation, keep a good driver's license, don't get bad credit, improve all of your communication skills as much as possible, and become as physically fit as you can.

If you would like to be a forest ranger, make sure you really have a love for the job because they are amongst the lowest paid government workers. In addition, you may have to live in a remote location, so make sure you can find a wife that would want to do that. Otherwise, I would love to be one.
