Cool careers without college

"Most workplaces are defined by computer screens, ringing phones, and artificial lights. What's a nature lover to do? Luckily, there's an entire world out there for someone whose ideal office is in the great outdoors-and the best part is, many of these jobs don't require a college degree! Outdoors-based jobs are ripe for the plucking if someone has passion, willpower, and a good work ethic. This thought-provoking title provides readers who love nature with many different career paths if they don't think college is the right path to their future"--, Provided by publisher
