game warden?

Question

what type of education do i have to have in order to become a game warden in the state of georgia?

Answer 1

I dunno but in WA state, you have to have either 2 years experience working for a hatchery or take the fisheries course at the college. A degree in fish biology is a major plus. It's basically the same as applying to be a police officer. Background check, psych eval, polygraph, numerous interviews, physical and mental exams. Plus 5 months at the police academy and 5 more months probation/training.

If they want you bad enough, because you meet their requirements and the type of person they are looking for, then you will get hired. Try going to a local hatchery and talking to a gamey and get to know them. Keep outta trouble, and good luck!

Answer 2

Getting a college degree is one of the best things that you can do. Many law enforcement agencies require or prefer applicants to have college. Having a degree could help you get hired by some agencies. Some agencies pay their officers more if they have a college degree. Having a degree could also help you get promoted during your career. Agronomy, animal science, biology, environmental science, fisheries/wildlife biology, communications, conservation biology, criminal justice, forestry, forest management, natural resource management, range management, range science, agricultural science, zoology, ecology are some majors that you might want to consider. Requirements to become a game warden and how you become a game warden depends on the agency that you want to work for. Visit the websites of the agencies that you might want to work for. Agency websites often provide information about their applicant requirements, about how to apply, and about their hiring process. If you are interested in animals and/or the outdoors and law enforcement, you might want to also consider titles such as animal cruelty investigator, humane law enforcement officer, and park ranger. You might be interested in federal jobs such as Uniformed Law Enforcement officer for the United States Forrest Service or Special Agent, Wildlife Inspector for the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, or Special Agent for the Environmental Protection Agency. Consider local, state, and federal jobs.

Answer 3

That would be an interesting job!

You should take as many science, math, biology classes as you can.
Also, volunteer at a zoo, vet's office, animal shelter, etc. Colleges like to see experience.
Good luck, I hope it works out for you!
